It is my great pleasure to welcome you all to the Fifteenth
International Water Technology Conference. This conference
has already established itself as a key event in which the most
influential researchers in the different Water-related fields and
regulators from related governmental bodies and firms can
come together to exchange insights and to influence each
others' agendas.
Such a dialogue has never been more important. We live in a world in which
water resources are being depleted rapidly and in an increasingly threatening
form. Over the past few years, the problem is manifested in the shortage,
contamination of available water resources and incompatible reuse of
wastewater resources.
The value of this conference lies in the opportunity it provides for an in-depth
dialogue between regulators and the industry. It will provide opportunities for
water quality professionals engaged in research, extension, and education to
share knowledge and ideas, to identify and update emerging issues, and to
network with related partner organizations.
I would like to see much more of this kind of collaboration. This is an
opportunity for us all to come up with a sufficient vision of our current needs
and future demand of water management technologies in the Arab region and
the world. It is our work which will ultimately impact regulated firms. So, it is
your chance to influence, please seize the opportunity to the full.
I would like to extend my warmest regards to every guest, participant, and
observer joining our conference; hoping that it will be successful and fruitful.
On behalf of the International Water Technology Association members, I
would like to acknowledge the encouragement and support received from His
royal Highness, Crown Prince Sultan Ben Abdulaziz; His royal support has
assured the continuity of Association activities.
Dear gratitude for conference sponsors; the respected ministers for their
auspices and support for the organization of this conference.

Prof. Magdy Abou Rayan
President of International Water Technology Association
& IWTC15 Chairman
