SINGAPORE -- Sponsors of the second international
exhibition on water
technology in Asian markets note that the rapid urbanization and
industrialization in many parts of the Asian continent have resulted
in the
large movement of people from rural areas to urban centers. Most of
the
existing infrastructure for water supply and treatment is
severely
overburdened, notes the announcement for Aquatech Asia 96, which will
be held
in the Singapore International Convention and Exhibition Center next
June
24-26.
Aquatech Asia is expected to draw hundreds of top senior
executives involved
in the water and sewage industries from the heavily populated regions
of
China, Indonesia, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Hong
Kong, and
Singapore. "Privatization of water supply and waste disposal in
many
countries spell immense investment opportunities," it is stated. In
Malaysia,
up to $15 billion is expected to be spent over the next three to five
years
on improving and expanding the nation's water supply network.
Information on
the Aquatech Asia exhibition is available from RAI Singapore,
