Water Forum 2016 will focus on the themes of Water Security under the Climate Change framework, Water Justice, and Water CSR. It aims to ring the alarm for water security under current global warming situation, and to inspect what the local threats we are facing, and to inspire innovative solutions on problems in Dongjiang basin.

The Central Government of China is drafting the 13th Five Year Plan (FYP) and it gives concern for water security and governance issues, such as Water Right, Water Trade and Waste Water Recycling. How should stakeholders work together to address these water issues in the region?

What can Hong Kong contribute to the water trade in the coming FYP? Can Hong Kong bridge the technology gaps in mainland China by bringing in latest water technologies to the rural croplands in mainland China? There are over 100 thousand Hong Kong manufactures in Pearl River Delta region; some of them are heavily water consumption accounts. In the FYP draft, the right to use water is one of the main water issues, under the water saving theme. How can they reduce the water consumption, and efficiently process polluted water, and recycle it during their production processes?
