ABSTRACT
This template provides the guidelines and the desired layout of a paper for inclusion in the 18th
International Water Technology Conference (IWTC) Proceedings. Regular conference papers,
prepared according to this template, are expected to 3 to 4 pages long, and the maximum allowable
length is 5 pages. Usage of this format is mandatory, and represents a necessary condition to be
published in the proceedings. Use this document as a template if you are using Microsoft Word 2003
or later. The inclusion of the paper in the IWTC Proceedings will be decided by the IWTC Scientific
Committee on the basis of experts’ reviews, and is independent from abstract acceptance and
participation in the conference. Abstracts must be text-only and should never contain any equations,
references, or footnotes. Abstracts should not be split into paragraphs and should not have any indents,
with exception of the 1st line. This abstract has been written according to these rules. Do not leave
space between the title of the paper and the top margin, but leave two single-line spaces between the
last line of author affiliation and the abstract.
Keywords: Template, Water, Technology, Conference, Max 6 keywords

INTRODUCTION
The paper size is A4 (210mm by 297mm). All margins are set to 2.5 cm. Papers should be without
line numbering neither page numbering and must only use the styles contained in this template.
Body text is 11 Times New Roman. Author should use the “IWTC Body Text” style. Paragraphs
have single line-spacing. Indents and spacing between successive paragraphs are embedded in the
Body text style. No additional spacing or indentation should be used.
All the paragraph titles (i.e., “headings”) have dedicated styles: “IWTC HEAD 1”, “IWTC-Head 2”,
“IWTC-Head 3”. Automatic numbering is included in such styles. The word “INTRODUCTION” is
also numbered and uses the style “IWTC HEAD 1”.
The un-numbered titles (i.e. the main title, the word “ABSTRACT”, the word
“ACKNOWLEDGMENTS”, ABBREVIATIONS, REFERENCES, SYMBOLS, etc.) are not included
in the style set of this document, and should just follow the same formatting used in this template.
Text has to be self-explanatory, explaining clearly the nature of the problem, previous work,
purpose and contribution of the paper. Language quality and quality of the illustrations are
essential, and have the same priority as the scientific quality of the contribution.
Conference papers that do not meet the editorial standards set for this publication will be rejected
regardless of its scientific contribution and technical quality.
The introduction should explain the context of the presented work and provide information about its
background, by referencing eventual previous works.

MAIN HEADING (STYLE “IWTC HEAD 1”)
2
Each heading (main, secondary or 3rd level heading) does not need any spacing neither before nor
after it. Spacing is included in the respective heading style and placed automatically. Please do not add
empty lines.
2.1
Secondary Heading (style “IWTC Head 2”)
The same applies to the secondary headings. This is a mere example text. Up to three levels of
headings are accepted.
2.1.1 Third level Heading (style “IWTC Head 3”)
The same applies to the 3rd level headings. Please note that numbering is automatic.
3
EQUATIONS
Equations must be clearly typed and numbered sequentially between brackets, i.e., (1), (2), etc.
When referring to equations in the text, possibly use the form “equation (1)” or “eq. (1)”, but be
consistent.
Equations should be placed as Body Text, thus keeping the same indent, as eq. (1) shows. Bracketed
numbers are aligned to the right margin, as it happens in eq. (1).
It is mandatory to use Microsoft Equation Editor.
Be sure that the symbols used in your equation have been defined before the equation appears or
immediately following it:


v j   0

t x j
(1)
Where ρ, χj and νj are the variables to be defined here.
Equation (1) has been written with the following sizes, which are suggested:
Full text
13
pt
Subscript/Superscript
8
pt
Sub-Subscript/sub-superscript
6

Symbol

Sub-Symbol

Non-expert users of Microsoft Word can use eq. (1) as a template, since it contains the size
information required.

TABLES
Tables must be set as part of the text. Captions should make use of the “IWTC Caption” style and
be placed above the tables. The word "Table" and a sequential number must be set before the
description of the table, with a dot in between. Leave one empty line after each table. Table 1
represents a simple example. Tables are referenced in the form “Table 1”.

FIGURES
Illustrations should have high quality and particular attention must be given to the readability of
embedded text in the pictures. Please ensure that all annotations, (numbers, letters, symbols and
legends) are legible. Spelling and symbols on diagrams must conform to their usage in the text.
Figures are allowed both in B/W and in color with no limitation.
Captions should make use of the “IWTC Caption” style. Captions to illustrations should each start
with the word "Figure", be numbered sequentially and be placed below the illustrations.
Figures are referenced in the form “Fig. 1”. Any Figure should has a caption as in this example.
Horizontal multi-figures are acceptable within the space allowed for writing.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
This section presents the main results the contribution and its possible reasoning. It may contain
text, tables, figures and equations.
In case of early or preliminary results of a research, sections like “RESULTS” or “PRELIMINARY
RESULTS” without a dedicated section to “CONCLUSIONS” can be accepted. In any case, few
concluding remarks are strongly advised, in order to give a complete logical structure to the paper.

CONCLUSIONS
This section indicates clearly and concisely the conclusions, basic advantages, limitations and
possible applications of the presented work.

A main section containing the RECOMMENDATION is also possible if strongly needed, which
should not be presented anywhere in the paper.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The word “ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS” should be written as 12 Times New Roman, Bold, and
Capital. Acknowledgments are obviously optional. The style “IWTC Head Generic” is available for
such use.
ABBREVIATIONS
Nomenclature, if needed, appears after the Acknowledgments. The style “IWTC Head Generic” is
available for the title. Alphabetic order is required. An example follows:
BTEX Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes
EC Electrical conductivity
TDS Total dissolved solids
U.S. EPA U.S. environmental protection agency
A section for SYMBOLS is also possible if the paper contains many symbols and/or excessive
symbols of repeated nature
REFERENCES
The word “REFERENCES” should be written as 12 Times New Roman, Bold, and Capital. The
style “IWTC Head Generic” is available for such use.
To list references, authors should use the dedicated “IWTC References” style. Please note that
journal titles, conference titles and book titles are set to italic font and not underlined.
References must be collected at the end of the paper in alphabetic order, according to the last
name of the first author. No numbering should be used. References should be recent unless it is
absolutely necessary, old references may be acceptable.
In-text citations must be done by the author's name and year of publication, according to the
Harvard referencing style, i.e., “…this experiment proves the theory (Nayfeh, 1981)…” or: “… as
stated by Renard & De Marsily (1997)…”
As a general rule, the style for two authors is: "Name1 & Name2, Year", for three authors or more:
"Name1 et al., Year".
The following list of references shows the writing styles to be used for the most common sources.
Usage of these citation styles is mandatory.
