World Bank Water Days "Innovation in Water"

Focusing on "Innovation in Water", Water Days provided a unique opportunity to address many water challenges by exchanging experiences and discussing how the Bank and sector partners can better serve our client governments by helping them find viable solutions to the World's increasingly urgent water problems. Thematic and Regional sessions presented "levers of change" in the sectors and enhance collective understanding on strategic challenges and opportunities for Bank's water business.

Water Days began with Australia Day on Monday, January 31, 2011 and Thematic and Regional sessions the following days, Tuesday through Friday, February 1-4, 2011.
