| Conference participants enjoy opportunities to share information and time |
This year's scholarship awardees are coming from 12 different nations - Colombia, Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Kenya, Liberia, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, South Africa, and Thailand. They will be giving presentations on everything from grey water treatment to the effects of climate change on water resources. They come from universities, NGOs, and research institutes as well as entrepreneurs. Most of all, however, they bring with them a unique set of experiences from all corners of the world.

The participation of international
practitioners and researchers is a very important component of our Conference.
We value the exchange of information and culture that this component offers,
and so we are grateful for the individual and corporate sponsors who have made
these scholarships possible. We look forward to welcoming all our guests – from
near and far away!
I am looking forward to participating in this years WaTER Conference. Coming from an African base, I strongly support this initiative by OU WaTER Centre to bring together delegates from the developing world to share experience and best practice within broader WASH sector. Oliver Ive, South Africa.
