Three water-delivery fairs in one
Analytica Lab Africa, food & drink technology Africa,
and IFAT Africa will co-locate for the first time in 2019.
The premier industry trade fairs will showcase new
innovations in wide-ranging water delivery and purification,
including solutions for the food and beverage industries
as well as laboratory technology, analysis, and other
application areas that are key issues in the future market
of Africa. Synergies from the co-location will create added
value for exhibitors and visitors.
The three trade fairs will be held every two years.

Plumbing Africa and Water, Sewage and Effluent
— part of the Interact Media Defined (IMD) stable
— took part in an initiative at the Klopperpark
Primary School in Germiston, a no-fee paying school,
on Friday, 9 March 2018 to enhance water-saving
awareness.
IMD arranged the donation of plastic water bottles
sponsored by the Institute of Plumbing South Africa
(IOPSA) to the 1 450 schoolchildren, teachers, and
other staff members.
The IMD and IOPSA team leaders gave a short
two-session talk to the two very well-behaved
groups of children in the school on the importance
of water — the idea being to save water, take
responsibility for their bottles of water, do not
waste, and if they spot a leak and are in doubt …
call a plumber!
The ground staff were given technical advice
on maintenance by the Dutton Plastics Team on
how to identify and repair leaks. In the very near
future, the school will also be having a special
valve unit installed, sponsored by Aquatrip, which
automatically cuts off the water if it detects a leak
— the biggest culprit when it comes to excessive
water bills, especially when savings are a priority
across the school. u

World Plumbing
Day
There was huge excitement when the children received
their bottles.
The premier industry trade fairs will co-locate for the first time
in 2019.
Amid growing concerns around the impact of climate
change and the threat of more extreme weather events,
the southern African region faces increased uncertainty
and vulnerability regarding water supply. The central theme
of the WISA Biennial Conference and Exhibition 2018 —
Breaking barriers, Connecting ideas — seeks to address
past, existing, and future water resource challenges by
promoting collaboration, cooperation, and integration within
the water sector. This key conference will be hosted by the
Water Institute of Southern Africa (WISA) and is targeting
both water professionals and those professionals who are
interested and involved in some way with the water sector,
to provide a networking platform.
