4 – 8 July
SINGAPORE INTERNATIONAL WATER WEEK 2011
SUSTAINABLE WATER SOLUTIONS FOR A CHANGING URBAN ENVIRONMENT
The Singapore International Water Week 2011 will be held from 4 to 8 July at the Suntec Singapore International Convention & Exhibition Centre.
Themed “Sustainable Water Solutions for a Changing Urban Environment”, the 2011 event reinforces Water Week as a platform for solutions to address the latest and most pertinent water issues amidst a rapidly changing world. It also reflects a broader focus beyond urban water solutions and other issues that affect the urban environment, such as climate change and the management of watersheds and river basins.

Joint Opening Ceremony of Singapore International Water Week and World Cities Summit
The Singapore International Water Week is the global platform for water solutions that brings policymakers, industry leaders, experts and practitioners together to address challenges, showcase technologies, discover opportunities and celebrate achievements in the water world. The event’s flagship programmes comprise: • Lee Kuan Yew Water Prize • Water Leaders Summit • Water Convention • Water Expo • Business Forums Water Week 2010 Hit New High Singapore International Water Week 2010 hit a new high when the event came to a successful close on 2 July 2010. Held together with the World Cities Summit, Singapore International Water Week 2010 saw a record increase in the number of trade attendees to over 14,000 from 112 countries and regions. The total value of announcements for projects awarded, tenders, investments into Singapore and R&D MOUs exceeded S$2.8 billion, up by 27% from last year’s S$2.2 billion.
The Changing Urban Environment More than half of the earth’s population already live in cities, and the trend towards urbanisation is accelerating. United Nation projects that by the year 2050, the world’s population will reach about 9 billion, with 70% expected to live in cities. Increasing global population, rapid urbanisation and emerging economies continue to put a strain on resources such as water, food and energy Yet at the same time, this translates into immense market opportunities for solutions that can overcome constraints stemming from resource scarcity to achieve sustainable growth.
As urbanisation and industrialisation gains momentum, the exigency is for urban planning and water management to work in tandem and address the additional stress on the increasingly scarce water resource.
Through its flagship events, Water Week 2011 continues to deliver value to delegates, trade visitors and exhibitors alike, with refreshing opportunities to promote practical and sustainable water solutions to the water industry as well as water users in other sectors.
Refreshing 2011 Programme Enhances Value For All Singapore International Water Week will see new developments aimed at creating more value for exhibitors and participants alike. A new addition to the Water Expo is a Research and Development (R&D) project showcase. Presented by the Environment and Water Industry Programme Office (EWI) of PUB, the R&D showcase will feature on-going and completed research projects in Singapore that have high potential for commercialisation and future development. Interested parties can look forward to dialogues with the project representatives during the Singapore International Water Week 2011.
