Welcome to WREM 2026

Over the past 8 years (2018–2025), the WREM series of conferences has established itself as a key global platform for interdisciplinary exchange in water resources and environmental management. This year, the 9th International Symposium on Water Resources and Environmental Management (WREM 2026) will be held from September 18 to 20, 2026, in Shanghai, China.

The conference will focus on seven core themes: smart water management and digital hydrology, sustainable water resource monitoring, water pollution and emerging risks, climate resilience and ecological restoration, marine and coastal governance, the Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystem (WEFE) nexus and low-carbon development, and interdisciplinary collaboration in water governance. Topics will include digital twin systems, emerging pollutants, nature-based solutions, blue carbon ecosystems, and cross-sectoral synergies.

We look forward to your participation in WREM 2026 as we explore solutions to global water and environmental challenges and promote long-term international cooperation for a sustainable and resilient future.
