Benchmarking and performance assessment are by now well known techniques to the water industry. However, it is in the past few years that we are beginning to witness a tremendous increase in the number of projects and initiatives that are being developed. Next march, in Valencia, the foremost experts on the topic will gather to discuss new approaches and to expand the networking possibilities while discussing new collaborations.
