Make Every Drop Count: Innovating for Water Security

As water scarcity becomes a growing concern, ensuring water security becomes paramount. This involves implementing measures to guarantee reliable access to safe and sufficient water resources, mitigating risks posed by scarcity, and promoting sustainable water management practices.

Water security in the built environment entails efficient water supply systems, conservation measures, stormwater management, wastewater treatment, quality monitoring, climate resilience, and community engagement. By integrating these strategies, urban areas can ensure reliable access to clean water, mitigate risks, and promote sustainable development.

This session brings together government officials, private sector leaders, architects, and developers to address the challenges and importance of securing water resources and fostering collaborative solutions for a sustainable future.
