2027 4th MENA Stormwater and Wastewater Forum

The 4th MENA Stormwater and Wastewater Forum 2027 is a professional forum for the Middle East and North Africa focused on integrated stormwater and wastewater management, promoting integrated water resource management, climate resilience and sustainable water infrastructure around the treatment and use of stormwater, runoff and wastewater.

The forum brings together government departments, municipal bodies, utilities, developers, consultants, contractors, academic institutions and technology suppliers, providing a venue for exchange among those involved in regional water management decisions; exhibitors and solution providers can learn about project progress and priorities on site, communicate directly with key decision-makers and showcase innovative solutions to regional water challenges.

Topics of focus include urban flood risk mitigation and climate-resilient drainage systems, water resource management, wastewater treatment and reuse and the circular water economy, regulatory and permitting frameworks, water infrastructure planning for smart sustainable cities, flood forecasting and early warning, digital water management technologies such as IoT and AI, blue-green infrastructure and sponge cities, network asset management, and public-private partnerships and investment and financing.

The forum is part of the Hydro Forums Network, which connects policymakers, government bodies, utilities, industry organisations, researchers and technology companies to promote cross-regional knowledge exchange and solution adoption; Gulf countries are expected to invest more than 80 billion US dollars in water and wastewater infrastructure projects, reflecting continued regional demand for related technologies and projects.
