DIPCON–RWHM 2027

Rainwater and Diffuse Pollution in a Changing Climate: Science and Solutions for Resilient Communities

Science and Solutions for Resilient Communities

DIPCON-RWHM 2027 connects research on diffuse pollution and eutrophication with rainwater harvesting and management. The joint conference brings catchment science into conversation with practical questions about water quality, stormwater management, and water security.

DIPCON

24th IWA International Conference on Diffuse Pollution and Eutrophication

RWHM

5th IWA Conference on Rainwater Harvesting and Management

Scientific scope

Dedicated DIPCON topics address pollutant sources, catchment processes, nutrients, emerging contaminants, and tropical watersheds. RWHM topics examine rainwater supply, safe use, treatment, smart technologies, governance, and community engagement.

Joint themes connect these disciplines through water-sensitive cities, climate resilience, nature-based solutions, local knowledge, and digital water.
