About the organisers

International Water Association (IWA)
The International Water Association is a global network of water professionals, spanning the continuum between research and practices and covering all facets of the water cycle.

Through IWA, members collaborate to promote the development and implementation of innovative and effective approaches to water management. The strength of IWA lies in the professional and geographic diversity of its membership – a global mosaic of member communities – including academic researchers and research centres, utilities, consultants, regulators, industrial water users and water equipment manufacturers.

IWA members from each of these communities represent the leading edge in their fields of expertise; together they are building new frontiers in the research and implementation of water and wastewater treatment technologies, within the framework of the total water cycle.

PUB, Singapore’s National Water Agency

PUB is Singapore’s national water agency and a statutory board under the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources. It manages Singapore’s water supply, water catchments and sewerage in an integrated way.

PUB manages the whole water cycle, from sourcing to the collection, purification and supply of drinking water, the treatment of used water and its reclamation into NEWater, as well as the drainage of stormwater.

The agency has ensured a diversified and sustainable supply of water with the Four National Taps – local catchment water, imported water, NEWater and desalinated water.
