Water woes take center stage at Water Phl forum

To tackle persistent water problems — including inadequate infrastructure, water scarcity, climate change, and pollution — Informa Markets Asia is set to stage Water Philippines next month, a timely convergence of stakeholders from the water distribution and sanitation industries as the Philippines strives to enhance water security, improve resource management, and ensure accessible, high-quality water for all.

Water Philippines, themed "Shaping the Future of Water Management," will take place from 19-21 March 2025 at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City. The event aims to provide innovative solutions and access to cutting-edge knowledge that will empower stakeholders to tackle these pressing issues head-on.

As the demand for clean and sustainable water sources grows, Water Philippines serves as a vital resource for industry professionals seeking to enhance their operations and contribute to the nation's water security.

"The water sector in the Philippines is indeed an important sector that shouldn’t be taken for granted. With the increasing demand for it, we must prioritize its management.”, said Ian Roberts, Vice President of Informa Markets Asia.

This year, Water Philippines features over 400 exhibiting brands and companies from more than 30 countries.

Attendees can expect a diverse range of exhibitor profiles, including wastewater treatment and management, water resources management, filtration, sewerage treatment systems, and pumps and valves.

Further, this year’s edition introduces exciting new exhibitor categories, such as desalination, membranes, solid waste management, trenchless technology, and water recycling and reuse — advancements that are essential in addressing the growing concerns regarding water scarcity and sustainability.

Mr. Roberts added, “Water Philippines, along with our industry partners and government agencies, is dedicated to providing clean and potable water to every community. We aim to deliver innovative solutions and opportunities for local stakeholders.”

Water Philippines is a biennial event for the water and wastewater industry in the Philippines that offers a unique opportunity to engage with leading experts and policymakers, discover new technologies, and contribute to the future of water management in the country.
