The World Water Council selected Daegu Gyeongbuk and the Republic of Korea to welcome the 7th World Water Forum in 2015, during its 43rd Board of Governors meeting organised on 14-15 November in Rome at the headquarters of the FAO. The selection followed a rigorous evaluation process for the candidates, closed by a final vote of the Governors. 

Dr. Eun-kyung Park, Water Ambassador for the Republic of Korea, thanked the WWC Governors and expressed her wish to work in close collaboration with Scotland and the City of Glasgow, that competed with them to host the 7th World Water Forum. The vote is conditional upon the signature of an agreement between the World Water Council, Daegu Metropolitan City and the Korean Government, between now and 31 January 2012, so as to specify the terms of their agreement.

7th World Water final dates have been released. 7th World Water will be held from April 12 to 17 April 2015.
