In Italy more than 9000 municipal wastewater treatment plants have treatment capacity under 2000 population equivalent, and in certain locations the small and decentralized systems are definitely a must. This is the case of the, historic city of Venice where the municipal wastewaters are treated in 140 small biological plants and more than 6000 septic tanks. Venice is therefore a unique venue to bring together researchers, professionals and policy-makers to outline the actual state-of-the-art and the future perspectives of small water and wastewater systems in a place where these topics are successfully applied. Additionally, its historical role in the whole Mediterranean area is well known, therefore, the joint conferences will play an important function in the definition of the Mediterranean and International strategies regarding water policy, giving evidences of the potentialities coming from small and decentralized systems in developed and developing countries.
Finally, the small and decentralized systems are demonstrating to play a leading role in the treatment of strong nitrogenous wastewater, especially where farms and agro-industries are small and spread on sensitive areas. The event will give adequate scientific and technological support for the definition of the decentralization as a strategy to treat the nitrogen rich liquid down-stream, in order to gather a sustainable meeting point between renewable energy production from organic waste and protection/improvement of water bodies.

Water and wastewater systems are essential infrastructures for any modern society and key elements for growth and human development. Access to water significantly affects the overall well-being of people through its impact on health, education, and productivity. However, a large proportion of the world population does not have access to safe drinking water and/or adequate sanitation. When available, the water and wastewater systems are increasingly challenged by a growing demand due to populations growth, urbanization, problems related to aging of the existing infrastructure, and the impact of climate change. Advances in nanoscale science and engineering are offering unprecedented opportunities to develop more cost e?ective, energy conservative and environmentally compatible water treatment processes. It is believed that nanotechnology can substantially enhance environmental quality and sustainability by allowing for a green (clean) technology.
This conference will bring together leading scientists from very different research fields including water scientists, material scientists and engineers to discuss and push forward the most promising applications but
also to identify potential pitfalls of the emerging technology with respect to the water industry.

IWA introduced its leading-edge conference series on water and wastewater treatment technologies in response to the need to highlight the most significant advances in these fields. It covered technologies ranging from those just emerging from the laboratory to those just making their way to full commercial applications.
The annual leading-edge conference on water and wastewater technologies is focused specifically on advances and development in water and wastewater technologies. To keep the programme targeted and discussions meaningful, the conference consists of a single plenary session on invited speakers on the first day, followed by two parallel sessions (one for drinking water and the other for wastewater) on days two and three.
This year’s drinking water track focuses on technology developments that relate to water scarcity and improved efficiency. The wastewater track will focus on the primary drivers for technology development: better economy and performance of systems, and adaptation or mitigation of climate change effects.
Proposed themes:
· Water and Wastewater Treatment Technologies for Developing Countries
· Emerging Opportunities for Lon-Exchange
· Technologies in Alternative Water Sources & Desalination
· Biological Treatment of Drinking Water
