The DWA Set of Rules provides security and orientation in the planning, construction, operation and maintenance of water and waste management facilities.
To implement changes and always act accordingly - this is the challenge of education, advanced and further training. We always offer the required knowledge for all levels.
The issues of water and waste concern everybody - politicians, citizens, professionals, educators and students. We explain the technology and development in a way that everybody understands.
We offer specialists a platform for dialogue. Committees, forums and conferences provide scope for contact and exchange. "Members know more" - that's what DWA stands for.
The DWA has resolved to promote the water and waste management and to bring together the specialists working in this field.
The approximately 14,000 members represent specialists and executives from municipalities, universities, engineering offices, authorities and companies.
Our main activities are preparing and updating the DWA Set of Rules and engaging in national and international cooperation to draft special standards. This work does not only refer to technical and scientific issues, but also to the economic and legal aspects of environmental and water protection.
