Building on the success of its inaugural edition, the 2nd MENA Dams Conference 2027 returns as the region’s dedicated platform for advancing dam infrastructure, water security, flood management, renewable energy generation and climate resilience. As water scarcity, rising demand, ageing infrastructure and extreme climate events place increasing pressure on the region’s water systems, governments and utilities are accelerating investments in new dams and reservoirs, rehabilitation and upgrades, hydropower and pumped-storage capabilities, dam safety, and smart monitoring technologies to strengthen long-term water and energy resilience.
Over two days, the conference will bring together government ministries, water and power utilities, dam owners and operators, EPC contractors, engineering consultants, research institutions and technology providers to showcase projects, exchange technical expertise and explore innovations across the entire dam lifecycle. Discussions will address critical regional priorities including dam safety and structural integrity, sedimentation, evaporation losses, flood and drought management, climate adaptation, hydropower generation, digital monitoring and predictive maintenance helping shape the next generation of safe, smart and resilient dam infrastructure across MENA.
