Water is our most precious and valuable natural resource. It is not only essential for daily life, but also a key resource to the industry. While the water supply is limited, increasing water sustainability (or circularity) is the key solution to support the population and industrial growth. This symposium will focus on the innovative materials, technologies, and processes that help drive the industrial water sustainability.
