Technology Symposium
The call for abstracts for the seventh biannual
Emerging Water Technology Symposium
(EWTS), to be held on 12–13 May 2020 in San
Antonio, Texas, can now be downloaded from
the EWTS website.
By IAPMO
The symposium will be co-convened by the American Society of Plumbing Engineers
(ASPE), the Alliance for Water Efficiency (AWE), the International Association of Plumbing
and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO), and Plumbing Manufacturers International (PMI), in
cooperation with the World Plumbing Council (WPC).
Abstracts will be welcomed on topics including the water-energy nexus, water efficiency, water
quality, alternate water sources, 3-D modelling for plumbing and mechanical applications, water
reuse, water infrastructure, sustainability, mitigating opportunistic pathogens, and more.
The EWTS provides an opportunity for experts to present new ideas and approaches,
emerging technologies coming to market, innovative ‘green’ plumbing and mechanical
concepts, among others. Professionals from the manufacturing, engineering, plumbing and
mechanical, and water utility industries participate, along with individuals from government
and academia.
“I’m delighted to announce, on behalf of the convening organisations that provide the EWTS, that
abstracts can now be submitted, and we look forward to receiving proposals from experts throughout
the world who have made major contributions toward developing new technologies or conducting
vital research that will help keep our building water systems safe and efficient,” said GP Russ Chaney,
CEO of the IAPMO Group. “So, please disseminate this notice to one and all so that we encourage the
broadest possible input to next year’s EWTS.”
