and southern Europe, to take a few recent examples, public debate about how to adapt to a new normal,
involving less available freshwater, is being fuelled by the realization that droughts and scarcity are not a
challenge only for traditionally dry parts of the world. It does and will increasingly affect all of us.
Therefore this years theme, Water and waste: Reduce and reuse, feels unusually relevant. Creating ways
of reducing water use without reducing quality of life, and reusing wastewater in safe manners, is absolutely
necessary, and urgent.
I hope you will use this World Water Week to share experiences with colleagues and participants, discuss how we can best
meet the global water challenges and come up with innovative solutions together.
At SIWI, we pride ourselves on convening one of the worlds most important water meetings, bringing the best minds in
water to Stockholm every year. When we join forces, we have a huge potential to influence and make positive change.
In this programme you will find over a hundred Seminars, Events and Showcases, to inspire, educate, and challenge us to
work even harder for a water wise world.

Welcome to Stockholm!

SIWIs vision is a water wise world, where we recognize the value of water, and ensure that it is shared
and allocated sustainably, equitably and efficiently, to meet everyones basic needs.
Through applied research, policy consultation, capacity-building and connecting key actors across
sectors, SIWI stimulates the development of innovative policies and scientifically-based solutions to
water-related challenges.

 About World Water Week

The idea that became SIWI stems from three linked events
in Stockholm in 1991. The Stockholm Water Festival invited
the public to celebrate water in the streets of Stockholm,
the Stockholm Water Symposium gathered some hundred
scientists to discuss the global water challenges, and Stockholm
Water Prize, under the patronage of H.M. King Carl XVI
Gustaf of Sweden, was awarded for the first time, in recognition
of outstanding achievements in water-related activities. World
Water Week, a further development of the Stockholm Water
Symposium, is today the worlds leading annual water event
and Stockholm Water Prize the most prestigious water award.
Each World Water Week has a thematic scope designed to
frame the discourse and sessions of that year. It is written by
the Scientific Programme Committee (SPC). All seminar
abstracts and session proposals are reviewed with it in mind,
likewise the Senior and Junior Rapporteurs experts and
young professionals, keep the thematic scope as their reference
point when reporting on all sessions in order to extract and
refine the key takeaways from the Week.
The theme is explored in the opening plenary (which actually
takes place on day two of the Week) and is anchored by the
closing plenary on the Friday morning. The Rapporteur teams
findings are presented at the closing plenary and feed into the
Overarching Conclusions published after the Week.

IV World Water Week 2017 Water and waste: Reduce and reuse programme.worldwaterweek.org
 Thematic scope
Water and waste: Reduce and reuse
The theme | In the second year of implementation of the 2030
Agenda the World Water Week 2017 focuses on a key challenge
for which two Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have
set ambitious targets: SDG 6, target 3: by 2030, improve
water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping
and minimizing release of hazardous chemicals and materials,
halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and substantially
increasing recycling and safe reuse globally, and SDG 12, target
5: by 2030, substantially reduce waste generation through
prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse. These are just two
of the 169 SDG targets, many of which, along with the 2015
Paris Agreement on climate change and the annual Global Risks
Reports launched by the World Economic Forum in Davos,
highlight our challenge to achieve sustainable development in a
changing world. A circular economy in which water
and waste are managed as economic assets is
an important part of the solution to this
challenge.
The Week will address the theme
water and waste reduce and reuse
from a holistic system perspective,
addressing issues and challenges
from all parts and countries of
the world low, middle and high
income. It will do so by engaging
all relevant water-dependent
sectors, particularly food and
energy, and all relevant stakeholder
groups public, private and civil
society with special attention to
gender and age balance.
The theme covers the entire geographical
range: upstream to downstream from source
to sea and both rural and urban. However, with
a rapid rate of urbanization, and the concentration of
water-waste challenges in dense urban environments, the Week
will contribute to the follow-up of the worlds urban summit
HABITAT 3 in October 2016 by including a special urban focus.
The water-waste cycle | The full cycle of wastewater management
will be addressed as a critical component of the cycle from source
through distribution, collection (sewered and onsite sanitation
systems) and treatment to disposal and reuse, including
water, nutrients and energy recovery. While solid waste will
be considered to some extent, e.g. co-composting with faecal
sludge, the focus will mainly be on wastewater management.
All forms of wastewater and pollutants are part of this cycle:
biological and chemical waste from domestic, industrial and

agricultural sources, point and non-point, including focus on
emerging and hazardous pollutants.
V World Water Week 2017 Water and waste: Reduce and reuse
Focus will be on prevention before cure, and consider waste
as a resource to be reused, sometimes all the way to potable water.
This includes reduction of chemicals, wastewater recycling and
reuse for irrigation and domestic use, nutrient recycling and
recovery (as e.g. phosphorus as a resource), and resource recovery
from wastewater and waste for energy, food and other products.
Options for how to harness opportunities related to reuse, such
as technology dissemination, institutional partnerships, business
models and policy mechanisms, will be explored.
The drivers | Key drivers of importance for the cycle will
be addressed, such as population growth, economic growth,
urbanization and industrialization, all happening in a world
suffering from recurrent global crises and affected by
climate change, not least in the form of increased
hydrologic variability and related disasters.
Coping with these challenges calls for
advanced technological development
and innovation, not least for
wastewater treatment, cleaner
production and reuse and
resource recovery technologies,
as well as changes in production
and consumption patterns
set in a proper policy and
governance framework.
Water quality management |
In the spirit of system and cycle
thinking, and aiming at water
fit for purpose, water quality
management will be addressed to
tailor to this new dimension, considering
appropriate water quality criteria for both
effluent and ambient water quality in line with the
SDG discussion. A broad perspective on pollution from point
and non-point sources will be taken, including, in addition
to traditional biological and chemical parameters, emerging
pollutants (pharmaceuticals, nanoparticles, metabolites etc.),
thermal pollution, waste products from desalination plants etc.
Accidental pollution requires special attention. Democratization
of monitoring of water quality will be considered as a mechanism
to include and engage stakeholders and raise their understanding
of environmental quality issues.
Health and biodiversity | An important dimension to be
considered in how to handle the water-waste cycle is the human
health dimension, such as immediate health issues related to
sanitation and hygiene (SDG 3 and SDG 6, target 2), and general
social acceptance of wastewater reuse.
programme.worldwaterweek.org
 Pollutants affect both people and biodiversity in terrestrial
and aquatic ecosystems, including coastal and ocean pollution
from land-based activities (linking the water SDG 6 and the
ocean SDG 14), calling for a holistic view and systems approach.
The urban dimension | Urban water and wastewater
management will be addressed from a holistic perspective,
spanning from small towns to mega-cities, and considering
the expected population dynamics and urban growth (SDG
11). Particular attention will be paid to stormwater runoff and
urban flooding, as potentially exacerbated by climate change, as
well as water reuse in the urban environment. This calls for new
approaches to smart cities practicing integrated urban water
and wastewater management and control, with strong links to
spatial planning and inter-institutional collaboration. The water-
waste-energy nexus, with special focus on resource recovery for
energy and other uses is an important dimension of the smart
city, as is the broader water, energy and food security nexus.
The industry dimension | The most rapid growth in global
water use is in manufacturing. While many industries are still
mismanaging water and waste, others have become showcases
of a circular economy with promising advances in good water
stewardship in the manufacturing chain (as e.g. from field to
fashion in the textile industry), not least among small-to-medium
size enterprises (SMEs). Some industries have demonstrated
the ability to recycle and reuse water to achieve zero net water
consumption, while others are striving to demonstrate a zero
pollution record.
Policy perspectives | All countries are expected to translate
and adapt the SDG targets to the national level and develop
and implement appropriate policies to achieve them. Doing so
for targets 6.2, 6.3 and 12.5 are particularly important for water,
faecal sludge and waste management, including recognition of
policy initiatives to promote a circular economy as an important
driver to achieve these targets. Focus will include policies in
sectors that need review and revision in order to facilitate the
promotion of sustainable wastewater management, including
pollution reduction, cleaner production, treatment and re-use, as
well as economic and social incentives to promote the sustainable
development of wastewater management from sewered and onsite
sanitation systems Water pollution prevention policies, including
both command-and-control and market based instruments,
will be important to consider. Up-scaling of wastewater-based
agriculture from small-scale, informal efforts, to a level of larger
formal enterprises is another area of potential policy review, as
is promotion of private investment, performance standards and
safeguards to contribute to water, wastewater and industrial
water management.
VI World Water Week 2017 Water and waste: Reduce and reuse
Economic and financial perspectives | Achieving water
security for all is an important element in achieving the 2030
Agenda, and one which holds an important economic potential.
The economics of water security relies strongly on wise water
and wastewater management, and depend among other things
on proper valuation, costing, pricing and financing of water and
waste management. Other critical elements to be addressed are
economic incentives and innovative financing and investment
models, greening wastewater from waste to wealth, as well
as promotion of sustainable wastewater management through
investment policies of donor agencies, development banks and
climate funds.
Societal, institutional and governance perspectives |
Development and implementation of policies, laws, regulations
and governance mechanisms are essential to promote and
achieve good water and waste management. One approach
towards good water governance is Integrated Water Resources
Management (IWRM) which is specifically addressed in SDG
6, target 5: by 2030, implement IWRM at alle levels, including
transboundary cooperation as appropriate, calling for a holistic
and cross-sectoral approach from local/basin through national
to transboundary level.
A wide range of governance issues will be addressed, including
focus on the regulatory and institutional framework for water
pollution prevention and control, and the need for taking a risk
management approach to governance in a rapidly changing
world. Consideration will be given to the need for institutional
frameworks to include mechanisms for co-ordination and
reliable monitoring systems Improving labor conditions in the
waste management and industrial sectors is critical, especially
for women and children (as e.g. in the textile industry), and
generally considering institutional barriers to good wastewater
and waste management and enforcement.
Special attention will be given to the involvement of all
relevant groups of stakeholders, not least in local communities,
including particular focus on gender equality and youth
involvement. Cultural and religious acceptance, including
barriers to reuse, need to be considered. Creating enabling
frameworks, public-private partnerships and new business
models for resource recovery, waterstewardship, innovation and
technology development will also be addressed, as will addressing
integrity, transparency and corruption. Finally, continued focus
on communication, capacity building and education is required.

VIII World Water Week 2017 Water and waste: Reduce and reuse
Seminars
Seminars span an entire day, and usually consist of three
separate sessions (each session can be attended as a stand-
alone event as well). Seminars are convened by SIWI in
cooperation with selected co-convenors working within the
relevant field.
Each year, nine different topics that relate to the thematic
scope are chosen by the SPC and a call for abstracts is made
to create the seminar programme. The abstracts are then
reviewed by the SPC, who selects the most versatile and dy-
namic presentations and posters in regards to content, inno-
vation and regional and sectorial diversity. The programme is
then developed with the help of the co-convening organiza-
tions and the selected abstracts are complemented with key-
note speakers and panelists.
Assistants
Each year between 80 and 90 water and development
professionals at the beginning of their careers
volunteer as assistants to make the World Water Week
what it is. They come from all over the world to take
part in the conference and work tirelessly over the
Week; making sure that the conference abides by
local rules and regulations regarding room capacities,
answering participants questions, helping presenters
prepare for their sessions and generally ensuring the
smooth running of the Week. They are the eyes, ears
and arms of the Secretariat and we ask participants to
show them the appreciation they deserve.
programme.worldwaterweek.org
 Interactive Poster Exhibition
The posters are an important part of the seminar programme and link to the thematic scope of World Water Week. Each
seminar displays a selection of abstracts in the interactive poster exhibition, both online and on-site, where participants
can learn more about the projects behind the posters. In addition, the poster authors make short presentations during the
seminars.
The poster jury, consisting of members from the SPC and YSPC, awards the most informative, innovative and well-
designed poster with the Best Poster Award during the closing plenary session of the Week. This years seminar topics and

Over the years, Stockholm Water Prize Laureates have represented a broad range of water-related activities, professions and
scientific disciplines from all over the world. As part of SIWIs effort to move towards equal gender representation, in all
aspects of its work, we specifically encourage the nomination of female candidates.
In conjunction with this we have recently launched the #WaterWomen campaign to highlight women in the world of water,
many of whom are not always as prominent as their male counterparts, but who are often equally deserving of recognition.
Visit the SIWI booth to learn more about this campaign.

Rethink water. Reinvent business (13:30-14:00)

Convenors: Ecolab, Microsoft and Trucost

Conservation is delaying an inevitable shortfall in freshwater
supplies. Succeeding a world constrained by declining water
quantity and quality requires businesses to rethink the water
cycle: to shift understanding and practices away from water as
a consumable good toward water as a recyclable asset. How
can companies better understand the value of water to shift
mindsets and practices from conservation to reuse?
The partners behind the Water Risk Monetizer, industrys
first financial modeling tool to assess water-related risks in
monetary terms, will discuss opportunities and challenges of
operationalizing circular water management in business, with
examples of how data and insights can help make the business
case.
Technology and digital capabilities exist today to enable
more effective management of systems and more detailed
monitoring of water cycles that result in more efficient and
reliable processes. Yet less than three percent of wastewater
is reused. Because water is undervalued and underpriced in
much of the world, businesses often overlook its actual value

Supplying rural areas with water and electricity

simultaneously (15:30-16:00)
Convenors: Odial Solutions Group and Veolia

Providing sustainable access to water and energy proves
difficult in rural areas due to the isolation of sites, the low
incomes that limit ability to pay for services, the size of the
projects, and their extremely low profitability. Because it is
difficult if not impossible to connect to regional grids, the
interest and capacity to install large scale solutions is limited
at best.
Veolia and Odial Solutions propose to use a single
concession framework to offer a comprehensive service
covering both urban and rural areas, thus capturing the
economy of scale and allowing tariff transfers and synergies
among locations and clients. This solution entails the
extensive use of decentralized technical solutions such as solar
pumps, stand-pipes among others.

Convenors: WBCSD and Nestl
#WASHPledge
Providing access to clean water, safe sanitation, and proper
hygiene (WASH) for employees at the workplace often falls
through the cracks between corporate sustainability and
health & safety. The WBCSDs WASH at the workplace
Pledge sought to change this. Since its inception in 2013,
43 companies have committed to the Pledge and are
implementing it, showing that they are providing their
employees with best practice access to WASH. It is important
that the movement grows. More companies across different
sectors and geographies have the opportunity to take a public
stance on WASH, and encourage others to follow suit.
The AgWater challenge:
Corporate progress and learnings (11:00-11:30)
Convenors: Ceres and WWF
#AgWaterChallenge
Agriculture consumes over 70 percent of the worlds
freshwater. Food and beverage companies, and their supply
chains, comprise most of the sectors water use and associated
water quality impacts through crop irrigation and livestock
production.
To address this, Ceres and WWF launched the AgWater
Challenge in 2016 to influence and recognize corporate
water-related commitments among food and beverage sector
companies and their supply chains.
The Challenge provides unique incentives for companies
to develop time-bound, measurable commitments that
address agricultural supply chain impacts, protect freshwater,
and reduce runoff and provides companies with technical
assistance from leading NGOs resulting in more meaningful
goals and commitments.

Pledge signatories, including Nestl and Jain Irrigation, as

reporting systems?
What the WASH Pledge implementation results and
impacts have shown?

Last year, the Challenge recognized seven major
companies Diageo, Hain Celestial, Hormel Foods, General
Mills, Kellogg, PepsiCo, and WhiteWave Foods as AgWater
Stewards. Together, the companies shared their leadership

improve water efficiency, create water stewardship policies,
and develop time-bound roadmaps for agricultural water
stewardship.

Microplastics in the freshwater environment:

An issue of concern (12:3013.00)
Convenors: Plastic Soup Foundation, Sida and UNESCO

The SIW Sofa will present the upcoming UNESCO
publication Microplastics in the freshwater environment
An issue of emerging concern, published in the UNESCO
Emerging Pollutants in Water Series.
The publication presents results of the UNESCO
International Initiative on Water Quality (IIWQ) case study
on the presence of microplastics in wastewater and freshwater
systeMs The case study provides a preliminary overview
and assessment of sources and presence of microplastics in
wastewater and the freshwater environment and of their
potential risks to human health and biota. This assessment
covers 16 countries in all regions of the world, based on the
review of available research and literature data.
The primary aim of this UNESCO publication is to
raise public and stakeholder awareness on microplastics in
freshwater resources around the planet and their potential
human health, environmental and socioeconomic impacts.
It also proposes policy recommendations on the removal
of microplastics and microfibers from wastewater, as well
as from consumer products, while engaging with relevant
stakeholders.
There are few studies on microplastics in freshwater,
compared to the number of studies on microplastics as
marine pollution. Hence, this UNESCO study offers an
important step towards the assessment of the problem and
developing appropriate policy solutions.

New Business from Disruptive

innovation in water and energy (13:30-14:00)
Convenors: IVL and KTH

For the past century, water and power utilities have developed
according to a similar business model. Power generation and
raw water supply has been developed in the upper reaches of
the system to supply a growing number of customers. Services
have flowed downstream in the networks, while money has
been flowing back upstream. But all of this now seems to
be changing through disruptive innovations, creating value
in new places of the service chain. Solar power users are also
becoming producers. Community-based water and sanitation
management turns users into service providers. Decentralised
treatment facilities are enabling recycling, while end-of-pipe
water utilities such as sewage treatment plants find themselves
net producers of energy.
All over the world, from Sweden to Uganda, these
processes seem to defy traditional logics and counter sectoral
splintering of networks. Is the old business model of
centralised unidirectional service provision a thing of the past?
In this SIWI Sofa, we discuss how disruptive technology
and management changes the water-energy landscape and
how new business models can tap into its potential, for
sustainable global development.

At the community level, for instance, it will ensure
that more coffee growers have access to post-harvesting
centers, which will significantly improve water use practices.
At a landscape level, the project works on a river basin

to mitigate risks such as erosion, restore ecological soil,
increase biodiversity and conserve natural capital. Similarly,
at the farm level, it will introduce wastewater management
innovations.

Pharmaceuticals in the aquatic

environment in the Baltic Sea (09:00-09:30)
Convenors: HELCOM Secretariat, Sida and UNESCO

The session launches the new UNESCO publication
Pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment of the Baltic
Sea region A status report, published jointly by UNESCO
and HELCOM in UNESCO Emerging Pollutants in Water
Series.
The report presents results of UNESCO International
Initiative on Water Quality (IIWQ) case study on the
occurrence of pharmaceuticals in the Baltic Sea freshwater
and marine environment and of their main sources and
pathways to the Baltic Sea. The report is the first of its kind
regional assessment and comprehensive compilation of
available data and information, collected through national
reporting by the HELCOM Contracting Parties.
The assessment results indicate the presence of a wide
variety of pharmaceuticals in the wastewater, freshwater
and marine environment in the Baltic Sea region and hence
a need to reduce emissions of pharmaceuticals into the
environment. It also points out areas of knowledge and data
gaps and the need for further scientific information on the
effects of pharmaceuticals in the environment in order to
prioritize measures for reducing inputs of specific substances.
The publication proposes policy recommendations to address
the knowledge and information gaps and to reduce the
discharge of pharmaceuticals with wastewater into the aquatic
environment.

Chinas Belt and Road Initiative (10:00-10:30)
Convenors: H&M and WWF

In the new Chinese international business expansion strategy
Belt and Road Initative (BRI), Chinas textile industry and
water policy faces a paradox, needing to expand business and
develop more sustainable practises on national and global
level. WWF expects increased environmental pressure on
water in all BRI related areas.
National policy changes supported by BRI will grow Chinas
big business connections, for example it may have impact
on H&M supply chain. As water stewardship champions
are raising the bar on industry transformation and work
in collective action with decision makers, we examine the
opportunities for harnessing BRI for global impact reduction.

Nestl Waters pioneering water stewardship towards a

systematic approach (09:00-09:30)
Convenors: AWS, AZAO, CAREC and Nestl Waters

This session will discuss how collective action can make more
of an impact than acting alone. A multi-stakeholder approach
involving site and catchment-based actions can lead to
more sustainably managed watershed areas and river basins in
regions where businesses operate.
Nestl Waters and its partners are pioneering water
stewardship to better understand water use, catchment
context and dependency risks in terms of water governance,
water balance, water quality and other important water-
related areas.
This Sofa aims to explain how water stewardship can drive
change by bringing together diverse groups to implement
innovative ideas and solutions to secure water resources.

Why should I change my water

behavior? (11:00-11:30)
Convenors: AGIRE , GIZ and SuSanA

#behaviorchange

The issue we want to talk about is: How can we change
unsustainable water uses and water politics into sustainable
ones. For water users this is about achieving a self-driven
water saving behavior and on political level taking water
saving triggering decisions. Instead, in our Tunisia program
we found out that there are triggers which incite water
wasting meanwhile we were doing campaigns to convince
users of the importance of efficient water use. Without
knowing and addressing these triggers, water campaigns,
water saving techniques and even participatory approaches
will have little effect on water saving behavior.
Water resource campaigners need users to want to change
their behavior and this works only if there are no adverse
triggers. The typical conflict is water saving campaigns on one
hand and agricultural subsidies on the other which trigger
wasting of water.
We have developed a system which identify these triggers
and their strength (positive and negative) on switching to
water saving behavior. These helped us to orient the activities
done in our program. Its partially based on a system used in
behavioral science, called (in German) Kraftfeldanalyse,
which has been adapted to the specific case of water resources
management.

Reducing waste in efficient irrigation: What pathways and who gains? NL 357

Convenors: IUCN, UEA and WWF

This event explores emerging debates and policy interventions, mainly focusing on drip irrigation technology, aiming to
deliver more efficient irrigation and free up water for other purposes. It highlights the traps, risks, and opportunities that
face public authorities, regulators, investors and policy-makers, and discusses alternative ways forward.
The four short presentations aim to stimulate a room discussion on policies for improving irrigation performance in
the face of limited headroom between supply and demand and/or calls for allocation away from irrigated agriculture.

The value of water: Aligning perception with reality Room:

FH 307

Convenors: Circle of Blue and SIWI #MyWaterStory

On World Water Day 2017, Pope Francis inspired a global conversation to help shift how the world values water. At the
same time, students and the public shared via social media their own perceptions about the value and values of water.
Roll up your sleeves and help carry forward and shapethis important narrative. This dynamic ideas lab will explore
the deeper conversation around the value of water, how it is perceived, how leaders are responding, and ultimately, how
business, governments, NGOs, and stakeholders can better understand and talk about waters worth.

Involving local communities to

water management (14:30-15:00)
Convenors: CAREC

Water Resources Management process requires the
participation of all stakeholders, especially local communities,
in the basin. However, some impediments still persist in
introducing the participatory approach to involve women and
young generation in Central Asia, who are poorly represented
in the local governance, NGOs and farmers associations. To
a certain extent, this is caused by lack of awareness about the
benefits of basin planning and basin management approaches
within the local communities, especially among women and
youth. Women hold a decision-making role on water issues
at a household level and young generation has an influence
among their peers.
Nevertheless, currently, members of the Basin Councils
in CA are predominantly males over 45 years old with
established social status.
To introduce the change to the business as usual
scenario, CAREC is working with non-traditional local
institutions those have an influence on the local community
to identify the leaders among women, who should be
included in the basin council. Thus, allowing for the wider
community integration and participation. Isfara Small Basin
Council is a good example where voices of all stakeholders are
well represented.

Re-integration of Central Asian water science into

global sustainable development (15:30-16:00)
Convenors: CAREC

Because of the language barrier and lack of coordination
between science and practice, Central Asias academia
and science continue to be low on the global water and
environmental initiatives radar. The situation worsened
even more after the disintegration of the Soviet Union when
Central Asian countries started the process of formation of
national identities and economies. This led to the formation
of independent players on the global platforms, despite the
fact that cohesive actions of all countries are needed to resolve
issues of a transboundary nature.
CAREC has initiated a network of academic societies for
Central Asia and Afghanistan, that unites universities and
research centers working in the environmental and water
sectors to exchange experiences. This regional mechanism
aims to break this academic isolation and play an integrative
role of Central Asian academic and science in the global
scientific society.
