World Water Week is hosted and organised by the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) and takes place each year in Stockholm. The World Water Week has been the annual focal point for the globe's water issues since 1991.
Each year the World Water Week addresses a particular theme to enable a deeper examination of a specific water-related topic.
The themes change each year, but each fits within a broader "niche" that covers several years. The current niche for 2009-2012 is "Responding to Global Changes", which looks at the potential and necessary responses in water policy, management and development to address pervasive and increasingly impacting global changes.
