Components
The Forum is made up of four primary components:
- The Thematic Programme: providing the substantive discussions in the form of sessions and panels;
- The Political Process: providing the opportunity for discussion amongst and with elected officials (local authorities, parliamentarians, ministers) and resulting in various statements and commitments;
- The Regional Process: providing perspectives on water from all regions of the world;
- The Fair and Expo: providing a space for all stakeholders to showcase their contributions.
Each of these components benefits from extensive preparatory processes that commence two years prior to the World Water Forum.
Past editions have included other features, such as side events, a Learning Centre, a Children’s Forum, a Youth Forum, a Children’s Education Village, Water and Film Encounters and cultural entertainment.

Famous quotes containing the word components:
“Hence, a generative grammar must be a system of rules that can iterate to generate an indefinitely large number of structures. This system of rules can be analyzed into the three major components of a generative grammar: the syntactic, phonological, and semantic components.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
