National Water Conference

The Energy and Water Agency (EWA) is delighted to announce the third edition of the National Water Conference, which will be held on 22 January 2026 at The Odycy Hotel in St Paul’s Bay.

The theme for this edition is “Water Heritage in Malta”, with a focus on both the physical structures that have shaped the water history of the Maltese Islands and the traditions, legends and language that reflect the influence of water over the centuries.

Two thematic sessions will explore different aspects of Malta’s water heritage. The first session will focus on tangible heritage, including groundwater springs, aqueducts, industrial water systems and sites of conservation importance. The second session will look at intangible heritage, such as narratives, place names and traditional observations linked to water.

The National Water Conference 2026 will bring together people from various fields, including policymakers, researchers, professionals, stakeholders and students. It will provide an opportunity to exchange knowledge, participate in discussions and reflect on the role of heritage in shaping future water policy.

More information on the registration and agenda will be available soon.
