Welcome to Tokyo

It is our great pleasure to welcome you with “OMOTENASHI”, a Japan-style distinctive hospitality to the IWA World Water Congress & Exhibition taking place in Tokyo, from September 16-21, 2018.

We have realized that there are several important water challenges such as the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the implementation of water wise city principles. For this purpose, we need to deepen our scientific knowledge and develop new innovative technology for Sustainable and Resilient Water Society considering the global warming prevention and secured sound water cycle.

Japan has proactively and continuously shared its experiences and know-how in the water sectors with other countries. We do our best to provide a wonderful opportunity for looking at the Real challenges of Mega-city, Showcase for innovative water technology, and Business opportunity with strengthening our partnership and expanding network of water professionals.

We experienced the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami in 2011. We plan to organize the Forum on Disaster Counter-measures and Risk Management based on our lessons and experiences in water sectors. The forum could provide cues to develop the better disaster management for reducing the risk with wise manner all over the world.

Tokyo represents a vital crossroads where over 400 years of history and tradition meet innovation. The Congress and Exhibition takes place at the Tokyo International Exhibition Centre, which is located on the expansive Daiba waterfront near to the central Tokyo area. We sincerely look forward to seeing many attendants from across the world.

The IWA, and the World Water Congress, are ready to address the water challenges we collectively face. We come together in Tokyo, Japan to innovate and shape a better water future for all. We hope that you will enjoy and benefit from joining us on this journey.

About JapanJapan has proactively and continually shared the experiences and know-how with other countries. Keeping this tradition the country would like to share water-wise best practices and technologies. Japan’s Quality, Japan’s Experience – Stability & Resilience

Water supply and sanitation in Japan is characterized by numerous achievements and some challenges. The country has achieved universal access to water supply and sanitation; has one of the lowest levels of water distribution losses in the world; regularly exceeds its own strict standards for the quality of drinking water and treated waste water; uses an effective national system of performance benchmarking for water and sanitation utilities; makes extensive use of both advanced and appropriate technologies such as the jōkasō on-site sanitation system; and has pioneered the payment for ecosystem services before the term was even coined internationally.

Tokyo Expertise in Water ManagementTokyo has strong relationships with many countries around the world, especially with neighbour countries in Asia. This network has been mutually nurtured over the years and has the capability to effectively attract large numbers of water professionals from all over the world to Tokyo.

Tokyo is an excellent venue for the 2018 IWA WWC, convening the congress here will be a catalyst for progressing towards a water-wise world.

Towards solving together the problems common to all megacities, Tokyo is the platform upon which the know-how and knowledge of the IWA colleagues can be exchanged and deliberated in 2018. As a gateway to Asia and the world, Tokyo also provides attractive business opportunities to all the participants.

Being the busy capital of Japan, Tokyo doesn’t lose its historic temples in the middle of neon-lit skyscrapers. This city offers exciting modern technology and enjoyment, along with the unique cultural experiences and activities.


Welcome to the IWA World Water Congress and Exhibition 2018

The water sector faces a pivotal moment. In a world that is increasingly water scarce, and impacted by climate change, the ever-increasing demands to allocate water to cities, industries, power suppliers, farmers, transport, and the environment presents an unprecedented challenge for the sector. At the same time, it also presents a unique opportunity to create the sustainable water management of the future.

Earlier this year, the World Economic Forum Global Risks Report pinpointed water as one of the critical risks we face over a ten-year horizon. Water is rightly considered a risk of high likelihood and high impact almost everywhere in the world. That is why Goal 6 of the Sustainable Development Goals is dedicated to addressing this risk, and delivering the water solutions needed in low-, middle- and high-income countries. The SDGs also make clear the centrality of water to addressing many of the other global goals.

Delivering solutions for the complex water management problems we face today, and in the future, requires a focus on integrated water management that bridges the gaps between sectors and raising awareness at a political level. It also requires leading-edge scientific research and technological developments to be combined with the best water management practices. As a sector we must embrace disruptive technologies and science, and adopt them at a much faster rate if we are to deliver the maximum benefit they can bring.

Ours is an industry of people and, as an industry, we face the twin challenges of ensuring we have enough human resources to deliver the massive growth in water and

sanitation services required to meet the SDGs; and that water professionals around the world have the right skills and knowledge to manage the sector of the future. It is a critical priority for us to invest in driving more professionals to enter the water and related sectors, and to provide accessible and affordable professional development opportunities for them.

The IWA World Water Congress and Exhibition is a critical meeting point for all those who are contributing to solving the growing water challenges we face around the globe. It is a leading platform for water professionals from science, research, technology, regulation, and from water and wastewater utilities, to come together with policy makers, industry leaders, economists, cities and the many other stakeholders who are vital to deliver global solutions.

The Congress and Exhibition will bring together over 5,000 of the world’s leading water professionals. It is a unique opportunity for connecting and networking with water sector leaders, and to share knowledge on the latest trends in leading practices, innovative technologies, ground breaking research and pioneering science.

Tokyo, our host city, is one of the world’s great metropolitan areas, and offers many insights for successful water management. I look forward to meeting you all there.

Thematic TracksShaping the future of water management

Track 6

Large Scale Water ManagementFor cities and utilities to be able to deliver long term sustainable, resilient and affordable services for future generations, it is important they are able to plan and manage the interrelationships and interdependences across catchments, basins and also within national and international contexts. How can water management at basin scale ensure the sustainability of services which cities and utilities rely upon from the wider natural system?

Track 1

Water Utility ManagementThe management of water utilities is a key part of the fabric of our cities and countries. Effective collaboration with their many stakeholders at different scales is an important feature of innovative and engaged utilities. How can water utilities optimise operation and management to be efficient in their use of human and physical resources, as well as being innovative and adaptive to short and long-term changes and future challenges?

Track 2

WastewaterWastewater management and resource- recovery face many challenges and opportunities. This includes municipal and industrial wastewater management, non- potable reuse, recovery of energy, nutrients and chemicals. What is the role of various wastewater treatment technologies, from individual-scale to large WWTPs, in delivering the sustainable, circular water management of the future?

Track 3

Drinking Water & Potable ReuseThe growth of emerging contaminants, such as nanoparticles, pharmaceuticals and antibiotic resistance, threaten the global goal of safe and high quality drinking water. Potential disasters such as bacterial outbreaks, storm impacts and security events, as well as concerns around the distribution systems (disinfection by-products, lead and opportunistic pathogens), require that innovations move from the science and engineering research into practice. How do we make potable water reuse part of the solution as more cities move to planned reuse to meet the growing community demands and provide water security for megacities?

Track 4

Urban Water SystemsSolutions for optimizing water and wastewater systems at the urban scale include strategic planning, operation, design and maintenance of drinking water, wastewater services and drainage infrastructure in urban environments. How can urban water systems deliver resilient, productive and sustainable solutions to achieve water-wise and liveable cities demands and provide water security for megacities?

Track 5

Communities, Integrated Planning & the Enabling EnvironmentAchieving water-wise cities of the future requires the involvement of many key stakeholders and professionals with different backgrounds. This track will explore how local (city) governments, utilities, planners, professional groups, the community, and private-sector partners can best work together to maximize their effectiveness and achieve better overall outcomes for their cities?

Disaster Counter-measures and Risk Management towards Resilient Cities

The Forum focuses on the resilience of water supply, drainage and wastewater systems in cities. It is a unique opportunity to learn about the Japanese experience from the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 in recovering the functions of their water and sewerage works. The sessions also share practical experiences of several cities in the world on building water resilience strategies, understanding resilience as the capacity to recover after a disruptive event (disaster or crisis) or slow changes (diminishing resources, social changes, climate change). Lessons learned on how to assess the risks, how to reduce the risks and prepare for the emergency response will be shared throughout the three complementary sessions on the following topics:

1. Lessons learned from the Great

East Japan Earthquake, The

recovery of water and sewerage

works

2. Enhancing Water Security

3. Wastewater and Drainage as

opportunities to enhance resilience

WEDNESDAY, 19 SEPTEMBER

Forum - Science to Practice

Science and technology development is needs-driven and existing potentially disruptive technologies could help to accelerate innovation and adoption activities in the water sector. The main purpose of the Science to Practice forum is to identify mechanisms and processes on translating science &technology into practice. Through this forum we would like to identify elements during this translation process such as challenges and barriers, necessary elements to lead to success, lessons learned, etc.

We will also exchange ideas on how science and tech can be translated into practices by different organizations and individuals from different segments (academia, utility, government, etc.) and in different areas and regions. The forum aims to be summarized into a report on the translation of science into practice with recommendations in terms of a set of general and specific challenges/barriers we might face (and how to overcome), what key factors lead to success, etc. The main audience of this forum are researchers, utilities, consultancy and all other individuals and organizations interested in translating science into practice.

TUESDAY, 18 SEPTEMBER

5th International Regulators Forum

The 5th International Water Regulators Forum (IWRF) welcomes high level regulatory authorities and officials with regulatory and supervisory functions related to the provision of water, sanitation and wastewater management services. This year we continue facilitating peer-to-peer dialogue and learning across regulatory functions –economic, health, environment and quality of service–; and bridging regulators across the sector and, especially, with the research, science and technology communities to enable the innovation and collaboration for the water wise world we want.

The 5th edition of the IWRF will address the SDG challenge towards water-related ecosystems and their services, as basis for resilient and sustainable universal access to water and sanitation for all. The one day Forum will be complemented by a series of activities throughout the congress, connecting regulators to other water champions.

Forum – Basin Connected Cities

Urban stakeholders have a critical role to play in preserving the freshwater resources on which they depend. A disruption in supply of freshwater resources to cities can have significant economic, environmental and health consequences. The Basin-Connected Cities Forum will explore what actions by cities need to be taken today to achieve sustainable management of basins into the future.

Join cities, regulators, utilities, industry, and basin leaders in exchanging experiences and determining how to become better water stewards in their watersheds to secure the water resource, protect water quality and prepare (and respond) to extreme events.

The Forum is an open event and will also launch the Basin-Connected Cities Action Agenda which aims to influence and activate urban stakeholders to protect and invest in water resources with basin and catchment organisations.

THURSDAY, 20 SEPTEMBER

Forum – Emerging Water Leaders

The leaders of tomorrow need to start planning their water future today.

Join the young and emerging water leaders from various disciplines and backgrounds in this forum to answer 3 big questions posed by this Congress for 2030 and beyond.

Using teaching and applying techniques to break complex issues down in smaller components, you will practice your problem solving skills whilst developing answers to the questions and actions towards planning our future.
