Come to the water valley of Europe
Amsterdam International Water Week will be held for the fourth time from October 30th to November 3rd in 2017. The event is built on centuries of Dutch experience with water, and is based in the beautiful capital of the Netherlands, water valley of Europe.
AIWW 2017 boasts 50 years of experience with the Global Water Exhibition Aquatech. With a total of 856 exhibitors, showing the latest technology in water treatment and recovery, Aquatech attracts around 19,000 visitors from 139 countries. The perfect venue to showcase best practice solutions and cases for viable investment to connect water resources, drinking water supply and waste water treatment in one event.
Water management has entered into a new era of complex and unpredictable risks, challenges and opportunities. As economies grow, so does the demand for water and the impact on the world`s resources. With a growing world population, climate change and encroaching demographic and economic changes, global leaders need to address multiple issues to secure the sustainable use of water in the future.
