Since 1993, the IWA Diffuse Pollution Specialist Group has organized international conferences. The Specialist Group has grown by merging with Eutrophication Specialist Group in 2006. Since 2011, the Diffuse Pollution and Eutrophication Specialist Group has organized biennial international and regional conferences in different parts of the world. At the international DIPCON, the specialist group exchanges new knowledge among researchers and practitioners to discuss diverse pollution issues, making connections between science and policy.

The DIPCON addresses the latest and innovative approaches to fundamental and applied research. Among its specific interest are stormwater management, monitoring and modelling, pollution control and best management practices (BMPs), sustainable urban drainage systems, reuse and resource efficiency, climate change adaptation related to diffuse pollution and eutrophication. The DIPCON strives to broaden international recognition on the subject as a leading platform for advancing and diffusing scientific knowledge.
