KUALA
LUMPUR, Malaysia, April 23,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ASIAWATER 2024, the region's
leading event dedicated to water and wastewater solutions for
developing Asia, officially opened its floodgates at the
Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre
(KLCC) in Malaysia. This marks the
start of a three-day expo and forum poised to attract over 20,000
industry professionals from 61 countries, eager to explore
cutting-edge solutions that will shape a more sustainable future
for water.
With the region facing a growing population and the ever-present
threat of climate change, ASIAWATER 2024 emerges as a critical
platform for collaboration. Themed "Water Transformation and
Climate Change: Innovation for Resilience," the event underscores
the urgency of safeguarding our water security in the face of these
profound challenges. This theme resonates deeply, highlighting the
need for innovative and resilient approaches to water management.
The event unites industry leaders, experts, and stakeholders to
chart a course for a more sustainable water future.
The grand opening ceremony featured a plenary session on the
"Impact of Climate Change on Water Security in Southeast Asia," led by the International
Water Association (IWA). This session offered invaluable insights
into the evolving water security landscape, emphasising the need
for swift action towards sustainable solutions.
YAB Dato' Sri Haji Fadillah Bin Haji Yusof, Deputy Prime
Minister and Minister of Energy Transition and Water Transformation
(PETRA), inaugurated the event, highlighting the government's
unwavering commitment to addressing water challenges and advancing

Dato' Teo Yen Hua, Advisor of
ASIAWATER 2024, emphasised, "ASIAWATER 2024 is a cornerstone
event for developing Asia, fostering knowledge exchange, showcasing
advancements, and forging partnerships crucial to addressing water
challenges. Rapid urbanisation and population growth put immense
strain on water resources. Balancing the needs of a growing
population with sustainable water management is vital to prevent
over-extraction. This necessitates a collaborative and integrated
approach."

of collaboration. Attendees can explore 10 International Pavilions,
featuring expertise from countries such as Austria, China, Czech
Republic, Germany, Korea,
Netherlands, Singapore, and Switzerland, to name a few. These curated
spaces offer diverse perspectives and cutting-edge solutions,
