1. Water Science and Technology: Catalysing water - society transitions Glen Daigger & Ger Bergkamp IWA – The International Water Association 7 th World Water Forum Kick-off Daigu (Korea), 13 May 2013

2. We have major challenges 1.8 billion people do not have access to safe water 2.5 billion people have no safe sanitary toilets that they can use in privacy 80% of urban and industrial wastewater is not de-polluted before re-use or discharge causing major pollution 250,000 km2 of dead zones existing in coastal water and oceans $ 160 billion is the 2013 damage by storms, floods, and other natural catas­trophes

3. We have agreed many things Halving, by 2015, the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water.”(Johannesburg, 2002) Halving, by the year 2015….the proportion of people who do not have access to basic sanitation.”(Johannesburg, 2002) “we intend to enhance policy coherence, adapt existing institutional arrangements and establish frameworks to maximize benefits and synergies across sectors” (Marseille, 2012) The World Water Forums moved from problems to focusing on solutions …and now IMPLEMENTATION

4. To IMPLEMENT requires major changes in water management: Science & Technology are Key Transitions Innovation is key for making these transitions happen Science and Technology play big role in innovations and water & sanitation transitions of our societies in the coming decades
