Join us for the IWA Water Efficiency Conference 2025 in Melbourne to explore Next Generation Water Efficiency.
The Australian Water Association and International Water Association are teaming up to bring the IWA Water Efficiency Conference to Melbourne, Australia.
Addressing water efficiency and loss is becoming increasingly critical worldwide, leading to the adoption of new and emerging technologies across various sectors. Through an international lens, best practices in demand management are being shared and implemented to optimise water usage and minimise waste. Emerging behaviours, innovative interfaces, and programs are driving this shift by enhancing monitoring capabilities, improving data analysis, and fostering community engagement. By embracing innovative solutions and learning from global experiences, societies are advancing toward more sustainable and efficient water management practices.
In its continuous search for solutions, the International Water Association (IWA) Specialist Group for Efficient Urban Water Management will bring the 12th biennial IWA Efficient Conference to Melbourne Australia, in association with Australian Water Association (AWA).
On 16 – 18 September 2025, the conference will bring together a high-calibre urban water and wastewater professionals to reflect on shared challenges and to promote efficient solutions.
