Solution Exchange Water Community met in Kolkata to discuss water issues in the north-eastern and east Indian states. The Annual Forum brings together the lead practitioners on water, governance, resource management, sanitation and drinking water in India once a year. These practitioners are from the government, private sector, donors and the UN, who are mostly members of the Water Community. It is one of the important water-related events on the national calendar. The event also helps the Community set priorities for discussions and action groups
during the year. It raises the profile of water-related issues nationally and internationally through debate and the media.
