The eighth edition of Hassan II World Grand Prix for Water will take place on May 18, 2024 in Bali, Indonesia, under the theme  “Security of water resources for food sovereignty and shared prosperity,” according to the Ministry of Equipment and Water.

This edition aims to discuss issues surrounding groundwater resource management for the conservation of ecosystems, the preservation of water quality and availability with regards to food production, and promotion and implementation of sustainable groundwater resource management.

The edition will include solutions to solve water security through technology, innovations, and investments, in a setting of rising water resource scarcity. These strategies include minimizing food waste, encouraging sustainable diets, and raising awareness.

The Hassan II World Water Prize is an effort to safeguard and manage water resources in an integrated and sustainable manner, which is jointly sponsored by Morocco and the World Water Council.

The Hassan II World Grand Prize for Water is awarded to an individual, a team of individuals, an establishment, or an organization that has made a significant contribution to the development and use of water resources on a scientific, economic, technical, environmental, social, institutional, cultural, or political level.

The award is given at a special ceremony that is held as part of the opening plenary session of the World Water Forum every three years.

The Hassan II World Water Grand Prize was established in 2002 and awarded for the first time during the third World Water Forum in Kyoto, Japan in 2003.
