Advancing solutions for water-related challenges in Latin America together 2025
Latin America faces unique water- related challenges, from increasing climate pressures to gaps in sanitation access. Home to critical ecosystems such as the Amazon Rainforest, the region must navigate floods, heat stress, and water scarcity. This webinar series explores innovative water reuse and small-scale treatment solutions, fostering knowledge exchange and partnerships to build more resilient water systems.

In this context, the Netherlands Water Partnership (NWP), together with the embassies of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela will host two interactive online webinars to provide best practices, exchange solutions, and foster partnerships between the Dutch and Latin American water sectors.
Sustainable water treatment and reuse solutions for a resilient future
Why do we discuss water reuse and off-grid solutions? Because climate change, urban expansion and overall drought and scarce conditions are forcing to rethink the way we handle our precious water resources. At the current rate, nearly all countries will experience some level of water stress in the near future. This is no longer a challenge reserved for developing and transitioning economies, but a global concern.
Rather than focusing on the eminent threat, this webinar series focuses on what can be done now and how these solutions can be scaled up and applied throughout the Latin American region.
The webinars are part of a continued series that was started in 2020, in which Latin American and Dutch experts have had the opportunity to discuss topics such as climate resilience, water quality, agriculture, and water governance. As the region is increasingly suffering from the effects of climate change, water shortages, and sanitation crises, the theme for 2025's series is Sustainable water treatment and reuse solutions for a resilient future.
