World Water Congress & Exhibition 16 –21 September 2012 Busan, Korea BUSAN KOREA Pioneering global water solutions Congress programme and exhibition catalogue Principal sponsors Institutional sponsors Platinum sponsors Welcome We are excited to welcome you to the 2012 International Water Association World Water Congress and Exhibition in Busan, Korea. Korea is the perfect setting for the IWA World Water Congress. The rain gauge was invented in Korea, and the country has developed it’s water service provision dramatically over the past 30 years. In Busan, you will have many chances to share and learn about global best practice, fundamental science, innovative research, policy developments and solutions to the challenges faced by water professionals worldwide. Glen Daigger IWA President As you would expect from IWA, the programme is high quality, stimulating and covers the broad and challenging issues faced by water professionals today. Our speakers, from top institutions and organisations around the world, will lead forward-thinking discussions. You will leave with a renewed sense of urgency, innovation and inspired thinking. You will be spoiled for choice at the congress, with over 200 sessions and workshops to choose from. You can either delve into your specialised subject or choose to widen the scope of your knowledge by attending sessions on other topics. This variety is complemented by over 700 poster displays showing new developments, research and practical case studies. We sincerely thank the Programme Committee and all the reviewers for contributing their time to developing such a comprehensive programme. Prof. Changwon Kim Congress President Remember, in between all the discussions, sessions and workshops, to visit the exhibitor stands. These are the people you will want to talk with to make your technical or collaborative ideas grow—they can further your thinking, making sure you get the right design, technological, organisational or publishing solutions. Exhibitors and country pavilion staff also have contacts and networks that are absolutely invaluable to delegates, so drop in for a chat. We deeply thank all our sponsors, including the City of Busan, for making this congress and exhibition a reality. It is because of their participation that we can offer such a stimulating programme and side events, and it shows their leadership and commitment to the water fi eld and its Paul Reiter professionals. IWA Executive Director Now is the time to start your journey into the congress and exhibition— make sure you talk with people within and outside of your specialisation to take advantage of the insights that come with cross-disciplinary thinking. We know you will thoroughly enjoy the congress.
