ABOUT IWA
Drawing exceptional professionals from over 140 countries, the International Water Association (IWA) brings together scientists, researchers, technology companies, and water and wastewater utilities, working to address the world’s most urgent water challenges where and when they arise, from ridge to reef and from catchment to tap.

The Association publishes 14 scientific journals and over 40 books per year on water management. IWA members develop leading-edge innovations and synthesise these through the work of its Specialist Groups, Clusters and a set of global programmes, such as the Digital Water Programme and the Climate Smart Utilities Initiative.
