The International Water Association (IWA) is an organisation that brings together people from across the water profession to deliver equitable and sustainable water solutions for our world.

The IWA aims to connect people with a diversity of backgrounds to generate innovative solutions and new opportunities to tackle urban and basin-related water challenges. The IWA pioneers science and furthers technological innovation. It believes that leading edge practices will come about when people from across the world, across sectors and across disciplines come together and take action. Together we aim to deliver practical solutions that are resilient and sustainable, meeting the urgent need for safe water, within and beyond urban areas.
