Do you know how to turn black polluted water into blue water? The recycling and reuse of water resource has always been at the forefront of national development issues. In recent years, governments all over the world have turned their attention to build large hydraulic infrastructures such as water recycling plants and wastewater treatment plants to reclaim and reuse domestic wastewater. According to statistics, 10 thousand tons of regenerated water or reclaimed water is enough to satisfy the need of 40 thousand people.

Therefore, since 2013, the Taiwanese government has invested NT$17 billion (approximately US$570 million) in building 11 water treatment plants in Taiwan, which are expected to be completed by 2026 to provide 334 thousand tons of regenerated water per day subsequently.

To further utilize water resource and reduce losses during the process of water transport and distribution, Taipei Water Department (TWD) proposed a long-term water loss management plan with a budget of NT$23 billion (approximately US$780 million) for the maintenance and management of water pipelines. The goal is to reduce water loss via pipelines from 17% in 2015 to under 10% in 2025.

The attention to hydraulic infrastructure development and sustainable water policies indicates the increasing needs for equipment, technologies and solutions in water reclamation, transport, and storage for both domestic or industrial use. We welcome suppliers all over the world to share the innovation and smart solutions for the booming "blue water" business in Taiwan.

TIWW is the only water related professional B2B exhibition in Taiwan. It provides the most extensive and cutting-edge water resource products, technologies, and solutions in the water industry. This excellent and diverse platform assists suppliers globally in entering the fast-growing water resource markets in Taiwan and Asian countries, where you can connect with business partners and approach target audiences.

In response to global trends and demands, this e-letter will address topics in water treatment, water regeneration, and water transport, and will focus on the exhibitors specializing in minimizing water loss during the water transport and optimizing wastewater treatment and reclamation systems.
