The conference will be held on 25-27 September, 2016 in Nice, France.

This first IDA conference focused on water reuse will cover leading-edge strategies and technology for advanced municipal and industrial water reuse programmes. Abstracts will be evaluated on the basis of contribution and impact, originality, accuracy, quality of presentation, and appropriate comparison to related works. Submissions will be accepted on the basis of technical merit.

Each submission should state the paper’s purpose, new results and conclusions, if available. All abstracts will be initially reviewed for content and relevance to the theme of the conference.
