With over 100 side events organized at the 5th World Water Forum by NGOs, governments and private companies from 33 countries and all continents, they were successful in terms of the number and diversity of subjects and organizations.
Subjects were diverse, from gender issues to climate change, water governance to right to water, and desalination to water security. Mostly carried out as presentations, debates and workshops, the lively and interactive discussions also enriched the Forum through a number of book launches, special ceremonies, documentary screenings, cocktails and receptions.
