Sri Lanka’s water resources are crucial for agriculture, livelihoods, public health, and economic growth, yet they face mounting threats from climate change, erratic rainfall, droughts, floods, pollution, over-extraction, and saline intrusion. Rising demand from agriculture, industry, tourism, and energy, alongside uneven access to safe water and recurring waterborne diseases, intensifies the challenge. Protecting these vital resources calls for innovative solutions and integrated, long-term strategies to ensure sustainable, resilient water management for the nation’s future.

Recognizing the urgency to address these challenges and enhance sectoral resilience, LECS & Savor International Limited are jointly organized the first-ever edition of SafeWater Sri Lanka 2026. This event will provide a vital platform for the national and international water community to engage, exchange knowledge, and explore innovative solutions tailored to Sri Lanka’s evolving water needs.
