MOTIVATION

“The world is in a water crisis, with the problem perhaps most acute in Africa. Globally, more than one billion people do not have access to safe drinking water, and half of the world’s population lacks adequate sanitation. More than 2m people die

annually from water-related diseases.” - Kofi Annan

The GP Africa Water Conference is a platform, which will facilitate discussions around the issues of developing and managing Africa’s water infrastructure and resources to meet the demands of the future. This solutions-driven gathering will also highlight strategies for securing sustainable water resources through eff ective demand management and alternative water resource development methods and techniques.

The conference promises insightful dialogue with leading industry experts who are continually employing innovative and sustainable ways of solving Africa’s water challenge. Delegates will also discover new technologies and emerging ideas in overcoming the challenges faced in managing non-revenue water eff ectively. You will be able to improve the operating revenue for all in the water industry thereby improving the fi nancial effi ciency, capital and operational funding of an organization. The GP Africa Water Conference will focus on three key themes:• WaterTechnology• Water and Sanitation• Water Leakage

BENEFITS

• Managing water demand efficiently to ensure long-term water security • Key issues in water resource management and technologies • Master-planning long-term water infrastructure to accommodate future projects and population growth • Leveraging financial investment by local water authorities to meet growing demands • Effective approaches to urban water demand management and supply planning• Ensuring water supply in the future, • An integrated approach to urban water systems• Multiple water source challenges • Alternative water resource opportunities and challenges• Optimisation of existing and ageing assets • Best practice for engaging with the community in water projects• Water planning and implementation of integrated water management plans
