We are delighted to invite you to participate in the International Symposium of CREST "Innovative Technology and System for Sustainable Water Use" in Kyoto.

This research area is focused on the creation of physical and/or social water management systems that would be adaptive measures for a variety of water issues of concern to Japan or other countries and caused by climate change, disaster, or other factors. Using innovative water treatment technologies and water resources management systems, optimal water use, as measured by qualitative and quantitative criteria, is sought in the respective stages of water supply, discharge, reclamation, and resource recovery. Proposed researches should contribute to sustainable water use from the most rational of many perspectives, including energy consumption, socioeconomic impact, environmental load, public health, and/or site-specific circumstances of targeted areas.

In this symposyum, specialists from Austria and Australia and CREST researchers are going to give lectures and have discussions.

We hope this event encourages Japanese young researchers.

We are looking forward to welcoming you in Kyoto for this exciting event.
