The fourth Young Water Professionals (YWP) ZA Biennial Conference is calling on those in the water sector to Stop Talking and Start Doing.

The theme challenges water professionals to bring their skills and knowledge to the water sector ‘work bench’ in order to implement practical and relevant solutions to shared challenges.

The Call for Participation is open and applications and abstracts can be submitted from 2 February till 28 February 2015.

The conference is set to take place from 16-18 November 2015 at the CSIR International Convention Centre, Pretoria, South Africa.

The conference topics are broadly defined into the following categories.

• Domestic and municipal water and sanitation
• Drinking water and bulk water supply
• Industrial and mine water
• Environmental water, and water resources
• Capacity building and training
• Water governance, management and society
• Inter and transdisciplinarity in the water sector

The spirit of the event, however, is to include all young people who are passionate about the water sector and the Water Institute of Southern Africa (WISA) has encouraged prospective participants to share topics that may not fit into any of the above mentioned categories.

The conference will explore how different professionals in the sector contribute with their skills, some through research others through practical on-the-job work.
