This conference is organized by the Canadian Water Resources Association (CWRA), Canada  aimed at defining benchmarks of sustainable water management and identifying critical strategies for moving forward.

There will be many opportunities at this Conference to share experiences on a range of water initiatives, including a progress review on boundary water issues, drinking water source protection, “green” city planning, regeneration of degraded ecosystems, monitoring and reporting, efficient water use and many more.
