The 3rd National Water Summit 2009

October 7th 2009, Croke Park, Dublin

The essential meeting place for Ireland's Water Professionals

2009 is an important year for European water policy. By the end of this year, the first River Basin Management Plans must be established by Member States, laying down specific measures to ensure that all EU waters reach good quality status by 2015.

The successful development and implementation of the river basin plans is key to water policy and offers the opportunity to take key decisions on our water management for the future.

In the context of this process, the Sunday Business Post and iQuest are delighted to be hosting the 3rd National Water Summit.

As well as highlighting issues of key importance across the nation in the process of implementing the Water Framework Directive, the event will also focus on innovation, water charging and water in the context of climate change.

Following the success of the previous two events, the 3rd National Water Summit will bring together Ireland’s leading water experts, who will meet to debate industry reforms, current challenges and opportunities and other initiatives - critical for the sustainability of the water industry.

This year’s event will provide a unique opportunity to get a thorough and up-to-date picture on current and future developments within the water sector, as well as a chance to network and do business.

Core subjects to be tackled include -

  • Policies and priorities for Ireland’s water sector
  • Meeting the challenges of a changed economic environment
