WPMC-2024 is the fourth meeting in the series of the International Conference of International Conferences on water Problems in Mediterranean countries (WPMC-97, WPMC-2019 and WPMC-2024) building upon successful outcomes at the Near East University in 1997, 2019 and 2023, respectively.

WPMC-2024 is an internationally refereed scientific conference addressing water-related problems and environmental concerns in arid and semi-arid regions of the world particularly in Mediterranean region. Water problem in the Mediterranean countries will focus on water quality and quantity in the broadest sense. The conference brings together researchers in science, society, and environment to examine water problem from a multidisciplinary perspective. Water problem is crucial to expanding our understanding of water science, society, sea water and environment related issues that humankind encounters. Such understanding is the key towards identifying critical water-related challenges, developing novel solutions and implementing steps that contribute to achieving the sustainable development goals. We welcome contributions from both the natural and social sciences, as well as from stakeholders and decision makers and from private and public sectors.

The conference gives a gold standard interdisciplinary platform and ideal environment to develop new collaborations and opportunity for research and academic forums, researchers, practitioners, and educators, industries, communities, and the private sector from worldwide to discuss most recent innovations and explore various dimensions of inter linkages between the impacts of climate change on water resources.

WPMC-2024 aims to explore the use of new technologies in the study of arid and semi-arid environments and their natural resources as well as to provide an opportunity for decision makers, experts, and scientists to share their expertise in order to find integrative and comprehensive solutions for water resource problems.

Moreover, WPMC-2024 aims to provide worldwide specialists, scholars, and researchers that are engaged in related fields a chance to exchange the latest research results and advances, study the latest technology, and establish an international friendship. This conference aims to provide intellectual guidance and scientific evidence on the challenges of global warming and climate change based on a humanistic and critical thinking approach, promoting research and education to build equality in the global community and more sustainable societies.
