IWWA

Water an essential element for life, plays a critical role in all aspects of life. The inadequacy in the supply and access to water has become a serious problem. Many people living in poverty, particularly in the developing countries face enormous hardship on daily basis because water supplies are neither sufficient nor not safe. Due to the unavailability of safe and clean drinking water, these people are compelled to consume contaminated water which ultimately affects their health and increases expenditure on curative measures and medicines etc. Shortage of water also has an impact on nation’s economy as majority of the industries use water in some of their production process. The need of the hour is to adopt serious steps towards solving the problem of water shortage and minimization of water pollution. Indian Water Works Association (IWWA) is a voluntary body of professionals concerned and connected with water supply for municipal, industrial, agriculture, recreational and like uses along with treatment, quality management and disposal of waste water. IWWA focuses basically on the entire “Water Cycle” encompassing the environment, Social, institutional and financial issues. Indian Water Works Association (IWWA) has been contributing to the fields of water and waste water since the year 1968. With the environmental degradation taking place over the last few decades’ water is proceeding towards becoming a scare commodity. Assuming a greater responsibility towards protection of water IWWA has decided to involve more of the upcoming generation in its activities. All centers of IWWA across the country will have Youth Forum for water in order to make the young generation aware of the problems in water management and inspire them to think and act for conservation and preservation of water resources by adopting better water management practices.
