The purpose of the Conference is to discuss the latest advancements of the important technologies for purifying industrial and municipal wastewater for reuse and the latest developments of process design and integration methods for water treatment. The researchers in the water purification field have diverse background, mainly in chemical engineering, chemistry, civil engineering, and environmental engineering. It is important to provide a needed forum through this conference to bring researchers with different backgrounds and from different countries together for disseminating and exchanging the latest scientific information. It will provide an opportunity for developing international collaboration for solving the global problem of water purification and reuse. Moreover, plans are being made to publish a proceeding in the form of a book for dissemination of the state-of-the-art information on water purification and reuse.
