Water Microbiology Conference
May 14-16, 2019
Pre-Conference Workshop, May 13
The Water Microbiology Conference creates a forum for researchers and practitioners focused on microbiology and public health issues to come together around the intersection of the two.
The Conference will be a blend of interactive workshops with scientific symposia and poster socials. The focus will be on water microbiology from watershed to human exposure, including current concerns in recreational waters, shellfish harvesting waters, emerging technologies and quantitative tools.
The 2019 Water Microbiology Conference Themes and registration will be announced soon.
Water and Health Conference: Where Science Meets Policy

Nexus: Water, Food, Energy and Climate
The “Nexus” approach is the one that focuses on overlaps across sectors while respecting sectoral expertise in order to make better plans by understanding interactions. (Stockholm Environment Institute, 2017)
There have been two Nexus Conferences that The Water Institute has organized. The first in 2014 made a significant input to the negotiations for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), through the Chapel Hill Declaration. The second in 2018.
