The International Water Association (IWA) is the global network of water professionals, spanning the continum between research and practice and covering all facets of the water cycle.
       
Through IWA, members collaborate to lead the development of effective and sustainable approaches to water resources management, drinking water, wastewater and stormwater management in areas throughout the world, creating value and driving the advancement of both the science and best practice of water management.

IWA members from each of these communities represent the leading edge in their fields of specialty, and together are building new frontiers in global water management through interdisciplinary exchange and collaboration.
       
In this endeavour, IWA and its members are committed to furthering sustainable and holistic resource management and service provision, built on the concept of the complete water cycle.
