From October 5 to 9, the second annual McMaster Water Week, a project of the McMaster Water Network, will take place from McMaster University.

McMaster Water Week consists of a series of events for faculty, students and the community that connect water science, technology and policy. This year's line-up includes distinguished lectures, workshops, field and lab tours, the student research showcase, a documentary screening of Cold Amazon: The Mackenzie River Basin, an art exhibit capturing the importance of Spencer Creek and a tour of the Woodward Avenue Waste Water Treatment Plant.

Not only do the events provide an opportunity to expand your current knowledge and skill set as a (future) water leader, but the opportunity to network with like-minded individuals who are passionate about water issues encompassing water and health, water and climate, water quality and technological innovation, and water security and sustainable development.
