On Wednesday, August 28, the King and Crown Princess attended the World Water Week in Stockholm.
During the World Water Week, experts, decision-makers and innovators from all over the world meet in Stockholm to discuss water issues. The conference has been held annually since 1991 and has over 3300 participants from 130 countries.
Symposium and exhibition
On Wednesday morning, the King and Crown Princess attended a symposium on the theme "Finding the flow". There, six researchers and experts lectured on how human intervention in natural waters has increased rapidly over the past millennium, and how it affects the future.
The first lecturer on stage was Jackie King, recipient of this year's "Stockholm Water Prize 2019". Finally, all lecturers gathered in a joint panel discussion.
After the symposium, the King and Crown Princess visited three of the conference exhibition stands focusing on India, the Netherlands and the Stockholm Junior Water Prize.
Award ceremony
On Wednesday evening, the King and Queen attended the World Water Week's banquet and awards ceremony in Stockholm City Hall.
During the evening the King gave a speech:
“The Stockholm Water Prize is an important part of World Water Week. It is an opportunity to honor outstanding water-related achievements, and to raise awareness about the sustainable use and protection of the world's water resources. ”
“Who gets what water? When? And how? This is, in essence, a matter of justice - and of great urgency. "
After the speech, the King handed out the "Stockholm Water Prize 2019" which went to Dr. Jackie King. She received the award for increasing the scientific understanding of water flows and providing decision makers with methods and tools for managing river systems.

Dr John Cherry receives the world’s most prestigious water award, the Stockholm Water Prize, in 2020. He is awarded for discoveries that have revolutionized our understanding of groundwater vulnerability.

World Water Week 2020 is cancelled
After a great deal of discussion and with much sadness, we have decided to cancel World Water Week 2020 scheduled to take place in Stockholm 23-28 August. This was not an easy decision to make, nor is it one we have taken lightly. This year would have been the 30th anniversary of World Water Week – but instead it has been cancelled for the first time ever.
The formal decision was taken by SIWI’s Board after closely monitoring both the spread of COVID-19 around the world and the measurements being taken by governments globally. It became clear that the unpredictability of the situation, which is likely to last for many months, would make the planning and execution of World Water Week extremely challenging for SIWI, our community of conveners, our partners and all participants.
We are delighted to announce that this year’s Stockholm Water Prize Laureate is Professor John Cherry for discoveries that have revolutionized our understanding of groundwater vulnerability. We are exploring how to celebrate Dr John Cherry at World Water Week in 2021.
We are also investigating ways to organize this year’s Stockholm Junior Water Prize – with many national competitions already underway – and will communicate more on this in due time.

The Stockholm Junior Water Prize (SJWP) is an international science prize aimed at young people between the ages of 15 and 20. Participants from about 30 countries participated in the competition, which is arranged in connection with the annual World Water Week in Stockholm.
This year's winners of the Stockholm Junior Water Prize were Hiroki Matsuhashi and Takuma Miyaki from Japan who came up with a creative solution to combat soil erosion.

Hiroki Matsuhashi and Takuma Miyaki from Japan won the Prize for a creative solution to combat soil erosion. At the same time, all finalists were acknowledged for their great achievements, despite unusually challenging circumstances.
HRH Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden expressed great admiration for all the finalists. In a filmed statement she said that she was not surprised that many ideas that started as Stockholm Junior Water Prize projects have proved to be important innovations changing many people’s lives for the better. Turning directly to the finalists, she encouraged them to continue to be role models who inspire boys and girls all over the world to pursue their dreams.

Victoria made the speech from Brunnsviken, close to Haga Palace
- The last six months I have spent a lot of time reminding my children that they have to wash their hands! said Victoria and smiled. And it was understood that it is probably not always easy to persuade Prince Oscar, 4 - and that mother Victoria has to fight to some extent. Four-year-olds usually do not think that soap and water are a priority…
So it was water that was on the agenda this day and Victoria was with digital from home Haga Palace. This time she had moved out to the waterside, and she had fittingly enough with her own "home bay" Brunnsviken as a background. Over the years, Victoria herself has become something of a water specialist, and now she highlighted the fact that 785 million people do not have access to clean water. And that 3 billion people completely do not have the opportunity to wash their hands.
- It is just an example of how the question of access to water is brutally unequal, she said - with an unusually strong word choice for her. But above all, she focused on how much good these young researchers do:
- Meeting the participants here always fills me with hope for the future!
