The 3rd International Forum on Asian Water Environment Technology (IFAWET) was held from 2 to 3 March 2018 in Singapore. It was co-organized by Centre for Water Research (CWR), National University of Singapore (NUS) and Research Center for Water Environment Technology (RECWET), the University of Tokyo. On the first day of the conference, 16 oral presentations were delivered in 4 technical sessions, which addressed physicochemical technologies, emerging microbial risks, micropollutants matters, and the future of membrane technology in water/wastewater treatment. 24 technical posters were presented, and 7 poster awards for best poster presentation were given. Technical tours to Changi Water Reclamation Plant (Changi WRP) and NEWater Visitor Centre (NVC) were organized on the second day of the conference. It provided a good opportunity for participants to learn about the reclamation processes for high-grade reclaimed water. The conference ended fruitfully, scientists and practitioners discussed issues ranging from cutting edge to practical levels on water environment technologies in Asia context.
