The International Water Association (IWA) is a self-governing non-profit organization which aims to cover all facets of the water cycle. The body is headquartered in London, and operates through a board of directors, a strategic council, and various member groups.
The group's mission is to serve as a worldwide network for water professionals and to advancing standards and best practices in sustainable water management. The association has four member types: individual, student, corporate, and governing members. There are about 10,000 individual and 400 corporate members, with national committees in approximately 80 countries.
IWA has its roots in the International Water Supply Association (IWSA), established in 1947, and the International Water Quality Association (IAWQ), which originally formed as the International Association for Water Pollution Research in 1965. The two groups merged in 1999 to form IWA.
