This international exhibition accompanies the conference and therefore provides an outstanding opportunity for providers of equipment and services in the desalination and wastewater reuse sector to bring their products and services to the attention of a large group of local and international delegates.

The conference will overview the most recent developments in desalination technology, its cost and extent of application, including socio-economic and environmental issues. It will bring together research scientists, decision makers, managers, design engineers and operators from water companies, industries, government departments, consulting firms, research institutes and universities. The place of industry, research and government decision making in this booming market will be addressed. Why and how should desalination be integrated into the national or regional water management plans, ensuring socio-economic and environmental benefits, will be the focal point of the conference.
