We welcome all young water professionals (those with less than 5 years of industry experience) to be exposed to the impressive work of a diverse selection of AWA specialist networks. This will be a fantastic opportunity to grow in your foundational understanding of key areas of the water industry.

You will leave the event with an overview of the main goals and activities of each specialist network. An expert representatives from each network will present on recent achievements, identified challenges, and foreseen opportunities within their respective network; based off their own professional experience.

  • Water Quality - Strengthens water quality technical and integrative expertise by evaluating new and emerging technologies, showcasing research, and supporting development of national standards.
