International ConferenceWater Science for Impact
Water Science for Impact will focus on water quality and quantity in the broadest sense. The conference brings together leaders in science, policy, and the public and private sectors to examine water science from a multidisciplinary perspective. Water science is crucial to expanding our understanding of water quality and quantity related issues that humankind encounters. The Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystem Nexus is one of the key topics of the conference.
The organisers welcome submissions around three different themes.
- Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystem Nexus
- Closing water and nutrient cycles in the agro-food sector
- Closing water and nutrient cycles in urban areas
- Towards saline water resilient agriculture and industry
- Impact and prediction of water stress on food security, energy and ecosystems
- Blue growth: sustainably harvesting the potential of resources from coastal areas and seas
- Politics and governance of water allocation claims
- Water and Climate Change
- Disturbance of the hydrological cycle
- Climate adaptation strategies for rivers, deltas and seas
- Nature based solutions in water management
- Climate proof, adaptive urban water management
- Water stress, water scarcity, water conflicts, water management and migration
- Livelihood vulnerability to climate change
- Extremes and disaster risk reduction
- Sustainable Water Quality
- Emerging chemicals and biological contaminants in surface water, groundwater, sediments and marine ecosystems
- Tackling multiple stressors: risk assessment and management strategies
- Restoration and conservation of healthy aquatic ecosystems: multiple stressors (pollutants, invasive species), ecosystem dynamics, resilience, tipping points
- Salinization
- Impacts of water quality on human health and freshwater and marine ecosystem health
