Overview

Groundwater Strategy Summit brings policy, science and sustainability together to move organisations from data to decisions for water-secure futures, with a special focus on groundwater. Join peers to explore new methods, innovative technologies and smarter policy that unlock investment, accelerate timely deliverables and raise performance across the water sector, including water reuse and recycling.

The programme stress tests scenarios, compares solutions, and showcases systems that endure, with tracks aligned to real-world requirements across cities, industry, infrastructure and mining, and to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Topics include regulatory compliance and assurance; flood-risk assessment and mitigation; groundwater modelling (and digital twins); environmental and social impact assessment; stormwater management; managed aquifer recharge at scale; and groundwater resource detection, monitoring and optimisation.

Why attend

Strategy to delivery

Move beyond pilots to project- and basin- outcomes. Learn how leaders structure regulatory compliance, sequence capital expenditure/operating Expenditure, and turn roadmaps into timely, auditable delivery.

Smarter decisions

Turn monitoring, modelling and digital twins into operational choices that cut risk and cost—spanning flood risk, stormwater, managed aquifer recharge, reuse and recycling, and resource detection and monitoring.

Curated connections

Meet senior decision makers from utilities, industry, finance, government and academia. Tracks are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and sector requirements, making it easy to follow impact across cities, industry, climate and nature—and to build the partnerships that unlock projects.
