The rapid growth of the megacities of the developing world has posed major water planning and management changes.
The first is the rate of growth. The development of the megacities of the developed countries was a gradual process.
The second major difference is that as the megacities of the industrialised countries expanded, their economies were growing concomitantly.
Besides water supply, sanitation, storm-water and wastewater management, water is fundamental to megacities in many other aspects.
Because of the challenges posed by total water management in megacities, the professionals are specially invited for a discussion information, knowledge and technology exchange and transfer.
