INVITATION The International Desalination Association flagship event returns to Australia a decade later from the 2011 IDA World Congress held in Perth. The World Congress will take place during the week of November 7-11, 2021, in the strikingly beautiful city of Sydney, Australia at the Interna- tional Convention Center Sydney (ICC Sydney), a spectacular location and state of the art facili- ty that opened in 2016 at the world-famous Darling Harbour. Supported by the University of Technology Sydney – Centre for Technology in Water and Was- tewater, Australian Water Association, the Government of New South Wales, Sydney Water, Sydney Desalination Plant, UNESCO Centre for Membrane Science and Technology at Univer- sity of New South Wales, and the Water Services Association of Australia, the 2021 IDA World Congress and exhibition will provide knowledge-sharing and interaction opportunities for par- ticipants on a plethora of both technical and business topics, related to the use of desalination and water reuse solutions to ensure a secure water future. Our world continues to face challenges in providing adequate and safe water supplies for our populations and industries. Desalination and Water Reuse plays a key role in providing a sustai- nable and reliable source of water to meet current and future clean water needs, and its importance is increasing as new technologies emerge and fresh water shortages multiply. The theme of the 2021 IDA World Congress is Charting Resilient Water Solutions. To secure a sustainable future, we need to chart progress toward resilient processes, technologies, and communities. Desalination and Water Reuse provides resilient solutions to efficiently meet the growing demand for water, threats to water security and the increasing frequency and severity of droughts resulting from climate change. Despite progress towards the UN Sustainable Development Goal #6, Water and Sanitation for All, billions of people still lack safe water, sani- tation and handwashing facilities. We encourage and invite you to submit an extended abstract to be considered for inclusion in the IDA’s 19th Biennial World Congress Technical Program. 2
PROGRAM
The World Congress will feature four days of technical sessions, lectures, high-level plenary
sessions, Leaders Summit, business discussions and academy courses.

Extended Abstracts poorly formatted will be rejected.
Extended Abstracts are evaluated based on contribution and impact, originality, accuracy, qua-
lity of presentation and an appropriate comparison to related works. The submission should
state the paper’s purpose, new results and conclusions, if available.
What you need to know:
• As English is the official language of the World Congress, papers should be submitted

• No previously published or presented material will be accepted. This will be strictly
monitored.
• Detailed information for submission of your abstract and participation requirements,
can be found here.

of findings and relevance to the theme of the World Congress.
• Information collected from those accepted into the program will be used for marke-
ting and promotional purposes such as online announcements, social media, print
material, the Final Program and Proceedings.
• The authors of papers for presentation in the Congress will be expected to sign a parti-
cipation agreement of requirements and are required to submit a full manuscript and
power point presentation.
• All accepted podium oral and digital poster presenters are required to register and
pay Congress registration fees once they receive the acceptance letter.
Please direct all inquiries regarding the Technical Program to papers@idadesal.org. The email

TOPICS
The IDA seeks the very best quality papers to solidify current industry knowledge and challen-
ge existing assumptions to advance growth in our industry. We are interested in hearing
success stories, as well as case studies where serious issues were experienced and solved. Sha-
ring knowledge helps us to improve technology and our industry as a whole. We encourage
submissions focused on practical operations, directly from plant operators. Likewise, cutting-
edge research aimed to dramatically enhance the economics of non-conventional water
resource solutions.
We encourage authors to take the time to carefully plan their papers, write with clarity, and de-
liver practiced, clear and well communicated presentations that strictly run to the allotted time
so that all authors have the same opportunity to present their ideas.
Each topic area below is explained with examples, and we encourage authors to think broadly.

10EVENT INFORMATION About IDA The International Desalination Association (www.idadesal.org) is the point of connection for the global desalination and water reuse community. A non-profit organization serving members in over 60 countries and includes 16 regional and national affiliate associations. Its membership comprises scientists, end-users, engineers, consultants and researchers from governments, corporations and academia. IDA is associated with the United Nations as part of a growing international network of non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The IDA World Congress has been recognized as the premier global event in the desalination and Water Reuse industry since it was first held in1987. Since our first Congress in 1987, the IDA is committed to the development and promotion of the appropriate use of desalination and desalination technology as a critical part of the solution to address the world’s water pro- blems. The Congress offers exceptional opportunities to expand your knowledge of current and emer- ging desalination and Water Reuse Technologies. Participants include end users (utilities and industrial), researchers, consultants, academia and manufacturers and suppliers of complete systems and components (inclusive of chemicals and materials). Venue ICC Sydney is Asia Pacific’s premier integrated convention, exhibition and entertainment ve- nue, underlining Sydney’s place as one of the world’s most desirable meeting and event desti- nations and providing the ideal platform to collaborate and innovate. Located on Darling Har- bour – ICC Sydney brings together world class conference facilities and accommodation options as well as a diverse range of more than 90 restaurants and bars, all within a 15-minute walk of ICC Sydney.
