Cairo Water Week 2019

Driven by the success of the1st Cairo Water Week, it has been decided to make the CWW an annual event.

As a natural sequence after the 1st CWW, the title of the 2nd CWW is chosen to be “Responding to Water Scarcity”. It will be an opportunity for academics, scholars, and policymakers, water resources experts from all around the world to present and discuss the key issues, plans, and actions related to responding to the challenges of water scarcity.

Thus, the 2nd CWW aims at translating the vision created during the 1st CWW into actions towards best practices and suitable implementation plans. CWW ensures knowledge transfer and how it can be acquired through successful public or private business models, political opportunities and obstacles, capacity building needs.

Cairo Water Week 2019 will address the main theme “Responding to Water Scarcity” through five sub-themes overarching a broad spectrum of the water scarcity.

They are linked in many ways and difficult to make separation. Under each sub-theme, a variety of topics could be covered. They are listed only as guidance but not limited to shape the 2nd CWW agenda as can be seen below:

• Achieving SDGs under Water Scarcity
• Cooperation in Water Sector
• Research and Innovation in Facing Water Scarcity
• Climate Change Impacts,  Mitigation and Adaptation
• Non-Conventional Water Resouces Use and Scarcity Conditions
