Digesting the Global Water Summit: 5 topics worth discussing
Finance, reuse, Saudi Arabia, and why structuring may matter more than technology.

I couldn’t attend the event Global Water Summit 2026 myself. However, I spoke with several attendees, received a number of messages, and came across a few presentation slides.
I haven’t had enough time to fully analyse the event, so instead of sharing **10 things to know, I’ve focused on the five topics that stood out most to me.
**As a tribute to the well-known “10 Things to Know” format from GWI founder Christopher Gasson.
