The 9th India International Water Week will be held from September 22 to 26, focusing on climate-resilient water management amid rising concerns over floods, erratic rainfall, and water stress.
Union Jal Shakti Minister C R Patil emphasized the urgency of the issue, stating that the availability of water is steadily declining and stressed the need to reduce consumption, improve conservation, and scale up water harvesting.
The event will feature thematic engagements across the water sector, including discussions on conservation, efficient use, and sustainable management practices, as well as a field visit on the concluding day.
The second International WASH conference will be held in parallel at the same venue from September 22 to 24, with participation from experts, researchers, state governments, central ministries, and NGOs.
Patil added that all stakeholder suggestions, including those from NGOs, will be considered to develop sustainable solutions for human needs.
