Water and Wastewater Management

Professional associations are of vital importance to water practitioners. These bodies provide certification in various aspects of water and wastewater engineering, while keeping members informed of the latest research, standards, laws, and news. They often publish peer-reviewed journals and organize conferences, providing members with the opportunity to contribute to engineering knowledge, and to meet with other like-minded professionals. Here is a list of some of the major water and wastewater engineering associations:

• American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
• American Water Works Association (AWWA)
• International Desalination Association (IDA)
• International Water Association (IWA)
• Water Environment Federation (WEF)
• Water Research Foundation (WERF)
