The World Water Forum is the world’s biggest water-related event and is organized by the World Water Council. Its mission is “to promote awareness, build political commitment and trigger action on critical water issues at all levels, to facilitate the efficient conservation, protection, development, planning, management and use of water in all its dimensions on an environmentally sustainable basis for the benefit of all life”.
The World Water Council organizes the Forum every three years together with the respective host country and city. To date, there have been seven editions of the World Water Forum, in different countries, on four different continents. Brazil is hosting the 8th edition of the World Water Forum in 2018. It is the first time the event is held in the Southern Hemisphere.
On Thursday 22 March 2018, IGRAC will launch its 'Groundwater overview: making the invisible visible' during the World Water Day 2018 celebrations at the 8th World Water Forum in Brasilia, Brazil. This official launch will take place at the Planalto Auditorium from 9:00 to 10:30. The groundwater overview is a UN-Water publication.
Apart from IGRAC's presence in sessions, there will also be a representative in the UNESCO Water Family booth at the Expo & Fair.
