SINGAPORE INTERNATIONAL WATER WEEK
The Singapore International Water Week is the global platform that brings policymakers, industry leaders, experts and practitioners together to address challenges, showcase technologies, discover opportunities and celebrate achievements in the water world.

To help expand your market, and prepare you for the next economic upturn, Singapore International Water Week 2009 offers a diverse mix of carefully planned programmes on water infrastructures and technologies. Opportunities to seek new partnerships and network with the entire chain of water experts, all under one roof, are abundant. 

The event’s flagship programmes comprise:
•  Water Leaders Summit
•  Water Convention
•  Water Expo
•  Business Forums
•  Lee Kuan Yew Water Prize

In line with 2009’s theme, the Changi Water Reclamation Plant, Singapore's largest and most advanced used water treatment facility, will be opened by the Prime Minister of Singapore, Mr Lee Hsien Loong, during the Water Week. As the heart of the Deep Tunnel Sewerage System,  Singapore's superhighway for used water management, this new plant ensures the sustainability of NEWater, Singapore's own brand of high-grade reclaimed water.

Changi Water Reclamation Plant, together with the newly completed Marina Barrage and innovative NEWater technology, exemplify effective solutions for cities, especially those facing increasing water demand and pollution challenges. Rich experiences in such mega projects can be tapped right in Singapore. Singapore International Water Week 2009 will also coincide with the 7th Ministers’ Forum on Infrastructure Development in the Asia Pacific Region and International Water Association’s Leading Edge Technologies Conference (LET).
