Without sustainable access to safe drinking water and sanitation, the well-being of the human race is threatened, particularly in developing countries. As the world population increases, so does the demand for water. The technologies exist to rectify the water crisis, but progress is hampered by the lack of infrastructural investment by both the private and public sectors. Decision-makers at all levels must be involved to ensure the lives and dignity of the millions who depend on the rest of the world to intervene on their behalf.
Asia WASH 2015 is an international, peer-reviewed symposium. Full papers are welcome, but not required. Registered participants with an accepted abstract and/or refereed full paper will be published in the Asia WASH 2015 Symposium Proceedings (ISSN 2188-403X).
The three-day symposium will provide an interdisciplinary platform for academics, researchers, policy makers, students and professionals. With the theme Unity in Community, it is hoped that today’s water crisis can be met with viable global solutions.
