The international forum "Tashkent Water Week 2026" will be held in Tashkent on March 25-26, as reported by the "Dunyo" information agency. In the context of increasing water scarcity, efficient and sustainable management of water resources is becoming a strategic priority. This directly impacts the strengthening of regional cooperation and Central Asia's role in the global water cycle.
The main theme of the forum is "Technologies and Innovations in Water Resources Management. Central Asia and the Global Water Cycle." Organized for the first time in this format, the forum creates a unique opportunity for experience sharing, discussion of innovative approaches, and development of joint strategies for water resources management.
Participants will discuss issues such as technological and digital innovations in water supply, global trends and key challenges in water resources management, the role of water in food security, development of cross-sectoral cooperation, implementation of green standards, rational land use, human capital development, and training of qualified personnel for the water sector.
The forum program consists of 16 sessions, featuring 80 speakers and over 1,200 delegates from 19 countries, including Austria, the UAE, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan, France, Sweden, China, and Kazakhstan. Organizers note that the program is designed as a comprehensive platform that unites all levels of the professional community—from government representatives and international organizations to business, the scientific community, young specialists, and researchers.
The forum is organized on the initiative of the Uzbek government and with the support of the Ministry of Water Resources, the international exhibition company Iteca Exhibitions, the "Tashkent Institute of Irrigation and Agricultural Mechanization Engineers" Research Institute, and the Center for Progressive Reforms. This event fosters collaboration between science, practice, and business, creating conditions for the effective implementation of scientific developments into real industrial solutions.
