The international conference “Water Science and Engineering 2026” was held at the Government Palace to mark the 15th anniversary of the Freshwater Resources and Nature Conservation Center. It was jointly organized by the center, the Mongolian Society for Water Engineering, and the Mongolian University of Science and Technology (MUST).

Held under the theme “Mongolia’s Freshwater Resources and Environmental Sustainability,” the conference aimed to promote research, conservation, and sustainable use of the country's water resources, as well as advance science, technology, and engineering in the water sector.

At the conference, 17 selected speakers presented their research papers and findings, discussing the current state of Mongolia’s freshwater resources, aquatic ecosystem conservation, water quality and pollution, surface and groundwater research, and water resource management.

Participants also addressed pressing issues such as water supply and wastewater engineering, advanced technologies, and the impact of climate change on water resources. They presented science-based approaches and engineering solutions for assessing, protecting, restoring, and sustainably utilizing water resources.

As climate change, freshwater scarcity, water pollution, and ecosystem degradation intensify worldwide, research into the distribution, accessibility, and quality of Mongolia's water resources, as well as their protection, is becoming increasingly important.

The conference provided a platform for bringing together research findings from scientists, researchers, engineers, and other specialists, while strengthening cooperation among government agencies, scientific and educational institutions, and industry.
