On the second day of IWD 2026, various dimensions of water security, Navar, and resilient wash services were brought together.

On the second day of IWDW 2026, water experts, policymakers and technology entrepreneurs from around the world gathered to discuss an integrated approach to water security, Navar (novel water‑collection and purification technology) and resilient wash services. In the key sessions, the existing risks to water security were analyzed, highlighting water crises, pollution and the impacts of climate change. Experts explained that water security encompasses not only water availability but also water quality, the stability of distribution systems and socio‑economic access. In this context, Navar technology was presented as a potential solution that integrates water collection, recycling and energy storage.

In the second session, the concept of resilient wash services was explained in detail, emphasizing the role of modular, portable and energy‑independent wash units in ensuring continuity of sanitation and health services in disaster‑affected areas. The panel discussion highlighted that combining Navar technology with resilient wash services could enable rapid availability and treatment of water sources in emergency situations, leading to a notable improvement in the prevention of water‑borne diseases.

In closing, the organizers of IWDW 2026 said that water security, n
