Conference
Scientific themes
Thirteen topics across the DIPCON, RWHM and joint groups. Dedicated research sits alongside questions shared by both conference communities.
DIPCON
Diffuse pollution and eutrophication
Follow pollution from its sources through catchments, rivers and coastal waters. DIPCON topics address nutrient dynamics, emerging contaminants, environmental health and tropical watershed management.
- Diffuse Pollution Sources, Catchment Processes, and Watershed Management
- Nutrient Dynamics, Eutrophication, and Water Quality
- Emerging Contaminants and Environmental Health
- Diffuse Pollution in Tropical Watersheds and Coastal Environments
RWHM
Rainwater harvesting and management
Examine how rainwater can contribute to water supply and water security, and what safe use requires. RWHM topics cover quality, treatment, smart technologies and the governance that shapes adoption.
- Rainwater Harvesting for Water Supply and Water Security
- Rainwater Quality, Treatment, and Safe Use
- Smart Technologies and Integrated Rainwater Management
- Water Governance, Policy, Economics, and Community Engagement
Joint themes
Shared water systems
Explore questions shared by pollution management and rainwater practice. Joint topics cover water-sensitive cities, climate adaptation, nature-based solutions, community knowledge and digital water.
- Rainwater/Stormwater and Water-Sensitive Cities
- Climate Change, Hydrology, and Resilient Water Systems
- Nature-Based Solutions and Ecosystem-Based Management
- Community Practice, Governance, and Local Knowledge
- Monitoring, Modeling, Artificial Intelligence, and Digital Water
Submitting to a theme
Submissions will be organised by theme. Authors will choose one to three themes when the call for abstracts opens, and the programme will group accepted work accordingly.
