The 5th IWA International Symposium on Water and Wastewater
Technologies in Ancient Civilizations: Evolution of Technologies from
Prehistory to Modern Times will be held at the Dead Sea, Jordan from
September 11th to 13th, 2019. The Symposium is
dedicated to themes relevant to the evolution of world’s water,
wastewater, and storm water systems since the prehistoric era. This
unique event aims to promote interactions, to motivate discussions and
to encourage collaborations among the global community on water
resources in the past, present and future. Information about ancient
technologies of water and sanitation in various civilizations, which
enhance sustainable practices and water management, are crucial to
develop present and future technologies. This Symposium will bring
together research scientists, historians, archaeologists, and engineers
from academic and research institutions, consulting firms and industries
around the world. Major achievements in related scientific fields of
water and sanitation technologies and management throughout the
millennia will be presented. In addition, it will provide valuable
insights into those technologies with their apparent characteristics of
durability, adaptability to the environment, and sustainability. These
technologies are the underpinning of modern and future achievements in
water, waste- and storm-water management practices. The Dead Sea is a
famous tourist location with prosperity and peace, fashion and history.
It is one of the best places for a visit and a stay to revitalize weary
travelers. The 5th IWA will be held in such an ideal
gathering place. On behalf of the organizing committee, we cordially
invite all of you to participate in 5th
IWA 2019!
