This article discusses a high‐level “Water Pressures” workshop at Singapore International Water Week (SIWW) 2011, organized in partnership with Black & Veatch and SIWW as part of the Water Leaders Summit. It featured approximately 110 global leaders from more than 20 countries. Twelve internationally renowned chairpersons led delegates through conversations focused on three types of pressures the water sector is facing today: policy pressures, innovation pressures, and public pressures. Titled “Water Pressures ‐ How to Adapt and Lead in a Changing Urban Environment,” the workshop yielded nearly a dozen hours of valuable insights into best‐practice solutions that leaders from developed and developing countries have identified to address these pressures.
