academic and research institutions, consulting firms and industries around the
world. It aims to promote interactions, to motivate discussions and to
encourage collaborations among the global community on water resources in the
past, present and future. In addition, valuable insights into traditional
technologies with their apparent characteristics of durability, adaptability to
the environment and sustainability focusing on those on culture and religions
