First Announcement of the 1^st Global Symposium on Water Cycle

(1^st GlobalSWC)

19:00 – 21:40, Beijing Time, September 02^nd, 2021, Online

One Water, a Wonderful World

Limited water resource and heavy environmental pollution are becoming key restrictions for the development of the society and economy all over the world. However, most of the current water systems for water intake, utilization, and drainage still follows the "once-through" and "single-use" model. The water cycle system will be an effective and sustainable solution for the global water crisis, which marks the new era of water systems. Planning, design, construction, and operation of a water cycle system require not only technological background but also knowledge and experience across multiple domains and disciplines of natural and social sciences, engineering, economics, politics, law, culture, etc.

Based on the above background and consideration, the Global Symposium on Water Cycle (GlobalSWC) is launched to provide a unique platform for discussion of the current advances relating to the development of a sustainable, multifaceted and multi-level water cycle system. In GlobalSWC, you will meet and interact with the most influential minds in water communities, share and exchange ideas and information with water experts worldwide, and network with peer water academics, engineers, and practitioners globally.

The 1^st GlobalSWC will be held online on September 02^nd, 2021, which will focus on the current situation on water cycle systems locally and globally. This event will address the most recent frontiers of sciences, technologies, practices, and policies for water cycle systems.
