“We are delighted to welcome the global water community to Riyadh, as we host the IDRA World Congress in Saudi Arabia for the very first time.

We extend our sincerest gratitude to the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture (MEWA) for their patronage, and the Saudi Water Authority for their hosting of the IDRA World Congress 2026.

Few places demonstrate the pace, scale, and ambition of modern water transformation as clearly as Saudi Arabia, and WC2026 will bring together innovators, leaders, and experts driving the next era of sustainable water systems.

At a time when water underpins climate resilience and future prosperity, this World Congress is an essential moment to learn, collaborate, and accelerate solutions that work. We look forward to meeting you in the Kingdom.”
