To further expand this discussion, bringing together knowledge and experiences at an international level, the <\/span>World Water Forum, with its first edition taking place in Marrakesh, Morocco, in 1997<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The objective of this first Forum was to lay the foundations, launch challenges and structure future standards, aimed at water, life and the environment in the 21st century.<\/span><\/p>\n

After that, every 3 years, the <\/span>International Steering Committee \u2013 or ISC, International Steering Committee<\/span><\/a> \u2013 is responsible for determining the location that will host the event. 24 members are part of the ISC and work with maximum responsibility for the Forum.<\/span><\/p>\n

This International Steering Committee is made up of 12 representatives of different nationalities, who are part of the World Water Council and are appointed by it. The other 12 components of the Committee are appointed by the National Organizing Committee.<\/span><\/p>\n
