On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the ‘National Conference on Urban Water Management : Challenges and Options’, it is my pleasure to present to you the announcement of this conference.

The Centre for Sustainable Development [CSD] and GTZ in collaboration with BWSSB, KUWSDB, BBMP, BDA, IWWA, IPHE, IE is organising a National Conference on Urban Water Management : Challenges and Option. The objective of the conference is to facilitate the various stakeholders in urban water management to share their experiences in solving the urban water crisis in India and elsewhere.

The conference is being organised in Bangalore , one of the fastest growing metropolitan cities, faced with serious water management problem like other cities and towns in India. It is hoped that this conference would explore the various options in managing those challenges keeping 'sustainable development' and 'clean technology options' as 'development mantra'. The conference would also deliberate on the strategies to deal effectively with the water crisis.

We invite Scientists, Policy makers, Engineers, National and International NGO's and interested citizens to participate in this conference and contribute to the effort in achieving sustainable water management.

Let’s meet in Bangalore!
