en.Wedoany.com Reported - Under the slogan "Water Unites Us," the 12th Expo Agua & Sostenibilidad 2026 has been officially launched in Peru. The expo has become the country's most important technical showcase platform for solutions in integrated water resource management, environmental sanitation, and environmental sustainability.
At the launch ceremony, representatives from the organizing committee, public institutions, and industry experts agreed on the need to strengthen synergy among the state, academia, and the private sector to address the challenges of water security and climate change.
Expo Coordinator Yesenia Valdarrago noted that the event has grown consistently over the past twelve editions and has had a significant impact on the sector. She stated that the expo has achieved its expected participation scale, attracting the most important players in the field and becoming "the ideal platform for finding concrete solutions to water, sanitation, and environmental sustainability issues."
Raúl Loayza Muro, President of the Water Competence Center (Centro de Competencias del Agua), emphasized that the expo serves as a bridge connecting science, technology, and national needs. He stated that the center successfully created a necessary water expo in Peru, drawing the attention of the state, businesses, investors, and academia. Loayza also stressed the urgency of ensuring universal access to water supply and sanitation, warning that sustainable development will be difficult to achieve as long as the Peruvian population lacks access to drinking water and drainage systems.
Mariano Miguel Castañeda, General Manager of the forestry oversight agency OSINFOR, pointed out the direct relationship between forest conservation and water security. He explained that the agency oversees more than 13.5 million hectares of sustainably managed forests and is currently strengthening forest monitoring using technologies such as drones, satellite imagery, and artificial intelligence. He believes that protecting forests through sustainable forest management means protecting water resources, thereby safeguarding Peru's well-being and future.
Francisco Dumler Cuya, Executive President of the National Building Technical Training Service (SENCICO), called for a re-examination of water and sanitation management models, especially in rural areas. He noted that the state has invested approximately 12 billion in the water and sanitation sector over the past five to six years, but the gap reduction curve has not closed. He also highlighted initiatives promoted by SENCICO to strengthen technical capacities in rural areas and promote sustainable wastewater treatment solutions, arguing that the country's sustainable development requires strengthening a true water culture based on specialized technical education.
The 12th Expo Agua & Sostenibilidad 2026 is scheduled to take place from September 30 to October 2 at the Jockey Exhibition Center, with the participation of companies, experts, international organizations, and citizens committed to building a more sustainable future for Peru.
