What Is a Circular Water Economy Study Tour?
A Circular Water Economy Study Tour is an immersive, in-country learning experience designed for water professionals who want to see circular water solutions working in practice. Through a curated program of site visits, expert briefings, and peer-to-peer exchanges, participants engage directly with utilities, municipalities, and private-sector partners advancing circular approaches across the Reduce–Recover–Regenerate framework. The focus is implementation: real projects, operational decisions, financing approaches, and partnerships that make outcomes possible.
Why Participate in a Study Tour?
Circular water transitions move faster when you can see systems in action, learn from peers, and build trusted relationships. Study tours accelerate learning and decision-making by connecting participants with proven approaches and the people behind them. By participating, you will:
See circular water in action – Visit operating facilities and projects that demonstrate water reuse, resource recovery, energy optimization, nutrient management, and watershed benefits.
Learn directly from practitioners – Engage with utility leaders, engineers, policymakers, and private-sector innovators who have implemented circular solutions and navigated real-world constraints.
Take home practical implementation insights – Understand what worked, what didn’t, and how teams addressed financing, regulation, and public acceptance.
Build lasting professional networks – Connect with a cohort of peers facing similar challenges and opportunities, creating relationships that extend well beyond the tour.
Strengthen leadership and influence – Return home better equipped to champion circular water projects, communicate value to stakeholders, and support implementation efforts.
