The FACSA Chair on Integral Water Cycle from the Universitat Jaume I has commemorated for the first time World Water Day with an event held at Menador Cultural Space, focused on the importance of a proper wastewater management for the benefit of the world population and the development of the most disadvantaged areas. In addition, the first prizes of the Chair were delivered to works related to the integral water cycle from Valencian universities.

In the first intervention, Sergio Chiva, director of the Chair, showed his satisfaction with the work developed during these two years of life because "there has been a didactic task that has served for the company to know how to work in the academic field and how the business works". In his opinion, two of the main objectives of the collaboration between FACSA and the UJI through the Chair are to attract talent to activities and projects related to the integral water cycle, and educate and sensitize the population on how to manage water efficiently.

Next, the first prizes of the FACSA Chair on Integral Water Cycle were awarded to Brenda Acevedo Juárez (Universitat Politècnica de València) in the category of doctoral theses, where the jury awarded a thesis to Andrea Momblanch Benavent, also from the UPV. In the category of master's degrees, the winner was Lydia Mendes Predolin, from the University of Alicante, and in the section of best final grade the winner was Albert Cifre Colomer from the Universitat Jaume I.

In his turn of speech, FACSA president Enrique Gimeno commented that "water recovery is a vital activity that must be expanded" because it can be used as biofertilizer or as an energy source. For FACSA, he said, "it is more a resource than a residue." Gimeno has highlighted his commitment to young professionals and explained that it is planned to call for scholarships for UJI students that will allow them to work with FACSA technical staff.

The rector Vicent Climent highlighted the excellent work that is done from the university chairs and classrooms to generate new knowledge and to share it with society because "a compromise is created between both parties that favours working together for the benefit of all". The first university authority has assured that "we must be a country that bets for water resources" and that the Chair is a space of opportunities that "will revert in our society". Therefore, he said, the prizes "start a very important task of recognition and promotion of research on this subject among students."

The event was closed with the intervention of the manager of the Public Entity of Wastewater Sanitation from the Valencian Community (EPSAR), Enrique Lapuente, who commented that the commemoration serves to "learn more about water, exchange experiences and improve their use." Lapuente has done a historical review to highlight the importance of the sanitation of wastewater in the health of the population. Although the data in the area of ​​the Valencian Community are good, he has ensured that "we have to be more demanding" because "it is a serious problem in many areas of the planet, but also a great opportunity to create qualified and stable occupation that fosters well-being and inclusive and sustainable development".
