Cape Town to host top water loss conference
Fortunately, 500 of the world's leading experts on water loss from municipal systems will be in the city next May for the 2018 International Water Association's Water Loss Conference to share ideas and expertise - and to learn from Cape Town's suffering.
"Many successful case studies will be showcased from South Africa, which is highly regarded worldwide in the field of water losses and is considered to be one of the leaders in advanced pressure control," the chairman of the International Water Association's specialist group on water loss Ronnie McKenzie said.
"Three of the largest advanced pressure control installations in the world have been successfully commissioned in South Africa, two of which are in Cape Town."
Tim Harris, the head of Wesgro - whose Cape Town and Western Cape Convention Bureau secured the conference - said it came at a critical time.
"It will provide attendees with an unparalleled opportunity to share insights and potentially collaborate to find sustainable, long-term solutions," he said.
Cape Town mayor Patricia de Lille said the conference was the sort of event the city wanted to host as the "ideas capital" of Africa.
"We look forward to learning as much as we can in our goal to build a water-resilient city to ensure that our residents and our economy can adapt, survive and grow," she said.
