Asia's Leading Drainage Systems Summit Returns to Singapore!

Poor drainage systems with obsolete capacity and inappropriate wastewater, stormwater treatment techniques are undoubtedly major causes leading to alarmingly growing rates of urban water pollution, flashfloods, soil erosions and public health issues. Despite significant progress observed in the water resources management in recent years, the growing intensity of rainfalls, frequency of intense rains and tidal incursions due to climate changes are putting substantial pressure on the traditional drainage systems in most Asian countries with existing poor quality and under-maintained, outdated treatment technologies. Asia is also home to the fastest growing urban cities, whose land usage if not properly controlled could adversely affect stormwater discharge and lead to severe soil erosion. 

Leading Asia’s Government Authorities, Ministries Officials, Water Resources Management Agencies to Gather at Drainage Systems Asia Summit 2017 to Discuss Policies, Practices and Challenges in Maintaining & Operating Drainage & Storm Water Systems

Taking place between 23-26 October in Singapore, Drainage Systems Asia Summit 2017 is expected to be an unmissable networking and best learning platform for public authorities, agencies and private companies across Asia responsible for designing, construction, maintenance & operations of sustainable urban drainage systems; making policies and setting World-Class standards on stormwater management; ensuring the most effective flood risk prevention approaches. Key themes of the summit include:

·         Optimising flood risks forecasting, monitoring and implications on flood prevention             programmes

·         Designing, operating and maintenance of sustainable urban drainage systems               and improving existing traditional infrastructure

·         Enhancing quality of waste water and stormwater treatment and adopting                         integrated water resources management

Key Challenges to be Discussed at Drainage Systems Asia Summit 2017:

• Various case studies on investments in flood control, newly built and expansion of sewerage facilities and drainage enhancement projects across Asia Pacific including Indonesia, Vietnam, Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, India, Malaysia, Australia amongst others

• Water runoff flow monitoring and data collection in studying flood risks

• Setting and enforcement of water discharge and drainage design standards & regulations

• Enhancing local agencies’ capacities in forecasting and designing urban drainage systems masterplan

• Progress and innovative techniques for maximising quality of waste water treatment in urban areas

• Accurate forecasting of future drainage and sewerage systems required capacity

• Developing integrated water resources management capabilities

• Optimise effectiveness in filtration and collection of pollutants from surface runoffs and wastewater

• Existing and innovative practices in operating and maintenance of drainage systems

• Operational costs and revenue models in operating waste water treatment plants

• Gaining Access to funding for urban drainage and sewerage investment projects

• Increase households’ access to urban drainage networks

• Public-private-partnership (PPP) and private sector participation in urban drainage systems

• Best Practices in maximising stormwater conveyance

• Developing water resources information systems

• Implementing Measures to mitigate effect of urbanisation on stormwater runoff
