On the occasion of the World Science Day for Peace and Development, the Scientific Association for Water Information & Sustainability (SAWIS), in partnership with the National School of Mines of Rabat and National School of Applied Sciences - Kenitra, is organizing the 7ᵗʰ edition of its international conference on Water Information and Sustainability, to be held on November 11–12, 2025 in Rabat, Morocco.

This edition, under the theme "Intelligent Systems, Geospatial Technologies and Modeling for the Sustainable Management of Water Resources", aims to highlight recent scientific contributions and technological innovations in the water sector, with a focus on smart approaches, environmental modeling, geomatics, and participatory governance.

Since its inception in 2014, SAWIS has brought together an international community of researchers, experts, policymakers, and local stakeholders committed to equitable, innovative, and sustainable water resource management. The conference fosters an interdisciplinary dynamic addressing today's environmental, socio-economic, and technological challenges.

We invite researchers, experts, and PhD students to contribute to this international event by submitting their research and actively participating in scientific discussions on the latest advances in the field.
