He emphasised the role of architects in conserving water and electricity through sustainable building practices. Strategies such as rainwater harvesting, underground water storage for recirculation, and the installation of sensor taps were discussed as key measures to enhance water conservation in the built environment.
The event also revisited themes from previous years, including Water for Peace (2024), Accelerating Change (2023), Groundwater: Making the Invisible Visible (2022), and Valuing Water (2021).
