PRINCIPAL MEMBERS

WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY ABOUT US

Adam Jones

Principal Engineer

The AWA is the main industry association that I engage with. In my experience they have consistently facilitated an active and relevant dialogue on water efficiency in a way that no other industry association has. Also the diversity of membership seems to span all spheres of the water industry - I think a 'broad church' like this is the best place to thrash out our key water management ideas and issues.

Tasneem Kanpurwala

Water Regulation Officer

AWA is a one stop shop for all water services. This includes national conferences to small networking events and webinars. Great exposure to the water world in Australia and beyond. 

Professor Jeff Camkin

Adj. Professor (Water Resource Management)

The AWA is the best forum for anyone in Australia wishing to connect with water issues as professionals or just people with an interest in water. It is the best way to meet other people interested in water issues in Australia and to support personal and professional growth in the water space.
