- **Innovative Water Conservation Measures: Tools and Techniques** \
  This session will introduce the latest household devices and technologies designed to reduce water consumption in a home. It will explore practical solutions and the impact they can have on water usage.\
  The session will also discuss the practice of separating wastewater and using treated sewage effluent (TSE) water for different purposes such as human consumption, irrigation, or district cooling.
- **Empowering Individual Action: Your Role in a Sustainable Water Future** \
  This session will explore how everyday individual actions can make a difference. It will discuss strategies for effective water use at home, engaging with local initiatives like those from Kahramaa, and ways to influence positive change in the community.\
