About the conference

The International Water Association (IWA) Specialist Joint Conference on Diffuse Pollution and Eutrophication (DIPCON 2027) and Rainwater Harvesting and Management (5RWHM) aims to gather leading researchers, engineers, policymakers, industry practitioners, and young professionals to address emerging challenges in diffuse pollution management, stormwater control, watershed sustainability, and climate-resilient water systems.

With increasing urbanization and climate-related extreme events in Southeast Asia, particularly in the Philippines, hosting DIPCON-RWHM 2027 in Manila provides a strategic platform to foster global collaboration, technology exchange, and innovative solutions for sustainable water management.
