The World Assembly of Water Wisdom brings
together representatives of different groups:
 Elected
officials, civil society actors (NGO, unions, consumers),
leaders of political opinion ( scientists, journalists,
artists, etc.), representatives of the financial sector,
local, national and international governance representatives,
private, public and para-public service-providers, children
and youth.
All these people voice their opinions
as individuals and bring to the table not only their
involvement in sustainable development but also their
field knowledge of water management.
The World Assembly of Water Wisdom is
composed ofof about sixty people. They meet during International
Forums. It stresses equal participation of women and
men, representation from the North and the South as
well as from a wide range of sectors.
To-date, the World Assembly of Water
Wisdom has sat twice: in Kyoto in 2003 during the Third
World Water Forum and in Barcelona in 2004 during the
Water Dialogues at the Universal Forum of Cultures.
