The International Desalination and Water Reuse Association (IDRA) recently announced that it will host the 2026 Global Desalination and Water Reuse Conference. Government agencies, water utilities, research institutions, and environmental technology companies from around the world will come together to explore pathways for the sustainable management of global water resources.
This year’s conference will feature in-depth discussions on key topics such as desalination, water recycling, industrial wastewater recovery, smart water management, membrane technologies, and green, low-carbon solutions, while sharing the latest technological advances and real-world engineering case studies from across the globe.
As many countries and regions continue to grapple with water scarcity, the international community is steadily increasing investment in desalination and reclaimed water utilization. The conference emphasizes that technological innovation, digital management, and international cooperation will further enhance global capabilities in water governance, providing more reliable and efficient solutions for urban water supply, industrial production, and ecological conservation.
Industry experts believe that desalination and water reuse have become critical growth areas for the global water sector and an essential component of achieving sustainable water resource management.
