23rd IWA International Conference on Diffuse Pollution & Eutrophication (IWA DIPCON 2026)

The 23rd IWA International Conference on Diffuse Pollution & Eutrophication (IWA DIPCON 2026) will focus on advancing knowledge and solutions for managing diffuse pollution and its impacts on aquatic ecosystems. Key themes include:

Main themes

• Diffuse emissions of legacy and emerging trace contaminants: monitoring, modelling and management
• Diffuse emissions of nutrients: monitoring, modelling and management
• Diffuse contaminant emissions from urban areas: control and management
• Agriculture and water quality interactions: innovative approaches and solutions
• Eutrophication in freshwater and marine environments
• Nature-based solutions to tackle diffuse water pollution
• Tackling water quality problems at the scale of large river basins and impacted coastal areas
• Quality dimension in water scarcity assessment
• Pollution – biodiversity – climate change nexus: interconnections and innovative approach

IWA DIPCON 2026 will serve as a platform for scientists, practitioners, and policymakers to exchange knowledge and develop integrated strategies for healthier and more resilient water environments.
