While not all events during the week relate to the overall theme, the workshops driven by the Scientific Programme Committee and many seminars and side events do focus on various aspects of the theme.
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.
The themes within the current niche are: 2009: Accessing Water for the Common Good 2010: The Water Quality Challenge 2011: Water in an Urbanising World 2012: Water and Global Food Security (tentative)
