Water and energy are closely interconnected resources that play a fundamental role in sustainable development, industrial productivity, and environmental protection. Energy production requires substantial water resources, while water treatment, desalination, distribution, and wastewater management depend heavily on reliable energy systems. Managing this interdependence is becoming increasingly important as climate change, urbanization, and population growth place greater pressure on natural resources.
This session will address integrated approaches to water-energy resource management, desalination technologies, wastewater-to-energy systems, water-efficient power generation, resource optimization, and sustainable infrastructure planning. Presentations will explore innovative technologies that improve water conservation while reducing the energy intensity of water services.
Scientists, engineers, environmental specialists, utility operators, policymakers, and researchers are invited to present studies on resource efficiency, integrated planning, climate resilience, smart water management, and sustainable infrastructure. The session aims to promote holistic strategies that ensure the long-term availability and sustainable use of both water and energy resources.
