Specialist Groups

Specialist groups represent the core vehicle for issue-based interaction on scientific, technical and management topics. The specialist groups facilitate collaboration and product generation, including conferences and publications. The specialist groups within IWA are self-managed and include groups covering all-important topics in the water management sector.

Spread across IWA’s membership in more than 130 countries, IWA’s specialist groups are an exceptionally effective means of international networking, sharing information and skills and making good professional and business contacts.

Every IWA member can join an unlimited number of specialist groups and each group has its own programme of conferences and other meetings and a regular newsletter or web-based discussion forum.

Please note that in order to be able to see the newsletters and membership listings for each group, you need to be a member.
