2026 WateReuse Symposium

Live in Los Angeles: the 41st Annual WateReuse Symposium

The Annual WateReuse Symposium is the premier conference on water recycling — attracting water professionals and water reuse practitioners globally for knowledge-sharing, networking, and collaboration. The Symposium is the most comprehensive water recycling learning opportunity available, covering policy, technology, operations, and communications for applications that range from irrigation and potable reuse to onsite and industrial systems.

In 2026, the WateReuse Symposium returns to California! Join us in the first state to pioneer water reuse regulations in 1918, and where trailblazing initiatives are still paving the way for a secure water future. Tour some of the largest and most impactful water reuse projects in the world. Experience a transformative keynote address by oceanographer Philippe Cousteau Jr. Mark your calendar to join us in Los Angeles, California, March 8-11, 2026.
