World Water Week
This years World Water Week takes place from 21 to 27 August 2011.
The World Water Week in Stockholm is a week-long global water conference held each year in August or September. The World Water Week in Stockholm is arranged and led by the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) and covers a wide-range of water, development and sustainability issues and aims to help link practice, science, policy and decision making.
Over 2400 participants attend each year, featuring experts and members from business, governments, water management and science sectors, intergovernmental and non governmental organisations, research and training organisations, and United Nations agencies. The conference features plenary sessions and panel debates, scientific workshops, poster exhibitions, side events and seminars. More than 200 organisations collaborate in the organization of events.
During the week, the Stockholm Water Prize, the Stockholm Junior Water Prize, the Stockholm Industry Water Award, and the Swedish Baltic Sea Water Award are awarded at separate ceremonies.
