The National University of Science and Technology (NUST) through the Department of Civil and Water Engineering has won a bid to host the 21st WaterNet/ WARSA/GWP symposium which will be held in Victoria Falls from the 28th to the 30th of October 2020.

The Department of Civil and Water Engineering put a bid to host the next symposium and the bid was discussed at the WaterNet Annual General Meeting which a lecturer from the same department, Dr Makaya attended.

He gave a motivating presentation and the board unanimously decided that NUST hosts the symposium.

The WaterNet symposium is an annual conference that provides water professionals with opportunities to discuss the management of fresh water sources.

Last year, the conference was hosted by the University of Johannesburg under the theme, Integrated Water Resources Development and Management: Leaving No One Behind for Water Security in Eastern and Southern Africa.
