International Water Association

(Redirected from IWA Publishing)
Not to be confused with International Water Resources Association.

The International Water Association (IWA) is a self-governing nonprofit organization and knowledge hub for the water sector, connecting water professionals and companies to find solutions to the world's water challenges. It has permanent staff housed in its headquarters and global secretariat in central London, the United Kingdom, to support the activities, and has a regional office in Chennai, India.[7] The aim of the IWA is to function as an international network for water experts and promote standards and optimal approaches in sustainable water management. Its membership is a global mosaic comprising 313 technology companies, water and wastewater utilities, 54 universities, and wider stakeholders in the fields of water services, infrastructure engineering and consulting as well as 7,791 individuals including scientists and researchers, with 53 governing members (2021).[6] IWA is an affiliated member of the International Science Council (ISC). IWA features regional associations, approximately 50 specialist groups covering key topics in urban water management, specialized task forces, and web-based knowledge networks.[5]

Two significant conferences are organized by the IWA biennially: the World Water Congress & Exhibition (WWDE) and the Water and Development Congress & Exhibition (WDCE). IWA works across a wide range of issues covering the full water cycle, with four programmes – Basins of the Future (water security), Cities of the Future (urban metabolism, sustainable city), Water and Sanitation Services (wastewater management) including Water policy and regulation – that work towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the 70th UN General Assembly and addressing the threat to sustainable water supplies posed by climate change.

History

edit

Merger of IWSA and IAWQ

edit

The association traces its historical roots back to the International Water Supply Association (IWSA), established in June 1947 in Harrogate, United Kingdom, changing its name to International Water Service Association (IWSA) in the mid-1990s, and the International Association on Water Quality (IAWQ), which was originally formed as the International Association for Water Pollution Research (IAWPR) in 1962, formally constituted in June 1965 also in the same city, renamed International Association of Water Pollution Research and Control (IAWPRC) in March 1982 and adopting IAWQ in May 1992.[3][1] Both were global membership organizations – one related to drinking water utility and the other related to wastewater utility – dedicated to advancing research and best practices through international collaboration, but represented two distinct causes, perspectives, histories, and membership profiles.[1]

The organizations had a series of activities centered on recurring congresses, which in the later years would include specialty conferences and regional conferences for individuals without the means of attending the biennial events.[1] The self-managed specialist group framework initially developed within IAWPRC would eventually evolve into the cornerstone of IWA's operational approach extending beyond IWA's biennial congresses, and be further enriched by clusters and programs formed by specialist groups within IWA.[1] In the history of IWSA, the focus of publication of journals was smaller compared to IAWQ.[1]

Discussions regarding a merger between the IWSA and IAWQ commenced in 1996.[1] Given their shared location in London for several years, the idea of a merger had long been considered.[1] Ultimately, negotiations for the merger were conducted through what later became known as the Merger Coordinating Group (MCG), who held a last meeting in London on 12-13 May 1999.[1] On 23 January 1998, the then presidents, Nicholas Hood of IWSA and Thomas Keinath of IAWQ, signed a memorandum of understanding, paving the way for the ratification of the merger between the two organizations.[8] After receiving mandates from their respective boards of directors to the formal proposal, IWSA in May and IAWQ in June the same year, the full merger was scheduled to take place by 1 August 1999.[8] The merger was formally sealed during a signing event held at the Stockholm Water Week in August 1999.[1] Under UK Charity Law, the merger officially dissolved IWSA and IAWQ, giving rise to the establishment of a new association.[1]

The two professional, technical associations with separate cultures, and working methods eventually merged on 7 September 1999 to form the International Water Association (IWA), creating one international organization focused on the full water cycle.[1][3] The merger was motivated by the streamlining of operations and a desire to accumulate critical mass.[9] Legally signed and created at the end of July 1999, the IWA was ceremonially launched at the final IWSA 22nd World Water Congress and Exhibition, held in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 18–24 September 1999, in collaboration with AIDIS Argentina.[9] IWA were operational in their new headquarters on Caxton Street, London, United Kingdom from January 2000. Included in the merger process was a new member leadership structure, the Scientific and Technical Council (STC) and a Management and Policy Council (MPC), and the creation of two subsidiaries: IWA Publishing (IWA) and the IWA Foundation.[1]

Early years, new agendas and offices

edit

The first congress under the auspices of the new organization was held in Paris in 2000 with nearly 2.500 delegates attending 450 oral presentations, 750 poster presentations and 4 workshops and seminars.[9][10][11] In 2009, IWA launched a biennial Development Congress, with Mexico City as the inaugural location, as a key component of its comprehensive agenda to drive advancements in the developing world.[12] Together with the America’s Clean Water Foundation (ACWF), IWA sponsored the first World Water Monitoring Day in October 2003, handled the joint coordination of the program together with the Water Environment Federation (WEF) from July 2006 until January 2015, where the coordinator role was transferred to EarthEcho International.[13][14] By September 2016, the membership numbers at IWA had increased to 6,295 members, which was an increase from 4,901 members in 2007.[15][16]

Water professionals had increasingly discussed and agreed on the necessity for a consistent framework within which to ensure drinking water quality standards, which was further emphasized by the World Health Organization's development of the 3rd edition of its Guidelines for Drinking Water Quality (GDWQ), emphasizing proactive risk-based management alongside end-product monitoring for compliance.[17] A generic framework for water quality management was crafted during workshops in Bonn, Germany in October 2001 and refined in February 2004, resulting in the Bonn Charter for Safe Drinking Water, launched by IWA in September 2004 during the 4th WWC&E.[17][18] The Bonn Charter for Safe Drinking Water advocates for the adoption of Water Safety Plans (WSPs), in alignment with the WHO GDWQ.

By 2015, the target year for the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDG) from 2009, the 2030 agenda of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) was embraced as a new main water-focused issue of concern among the many other global priorities.[19] In March 2015, AquaRating was announced as the world's first rating agency for the water sector by establishing the international standard for assessing water and sanitation services provision, jointly developed by the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) and the IWA.[20][21] On 1 September 2016, the World Bank and IWA announced the establishment of a partnership surrounding the reduction of water losses.[22] In a partnership with OPEC Fund for International Development (OFID), the IWA published a report on 26 February 2017, emphasizes the critical need for swift and substantial action to significantly enhance wastewater treatment, reuse, and recycling.[23]

At an official ceremony on 14 November 2007, a major operational office in The Hague, the Netherlands, was opened, which followed the opening of regional offices in Beijing, Republic of China (7 December 2006) and Singapore (5 June 2007), and later in Nairobi, Kenya (2009/2010), Bucharest, Romania (24 November 2009) and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States (2016).[24][1][21][25][16] A regional office in Chennai, India was established in May 2018 to coordinate the organization's activities across South Asia, and hosts a sub-unit of the IT and Digital Transformation team.[7] A collaboration agreement that established IWA's new Global Operations Hub in Nanjing, Republic of China, was signed on 22 October 2018 to host the Asia & Oceania Regional Member Engagement and Service, Water Intelligence, IWA Learn, and Event, becoming fully operational in July 2019, and staying active until late 2022 or early 2023.[26][7] Brexit let to the shutdown of the association's operations in the Netherlands and the transfer of activities back to the United Kingdom, where IWA and IWA Publishing have shared an expanded office in London since July 2020.[7]

Presidents of IWA

edit

All past presidents of the International Water Association are listed below.[1] The length of the presidency is a two-year term of office, which can be renewed for a second mandate following a constitutional change at a Beijing meeting in 2006.[16] The person becomes president-elect until the term officially commences at the conclusion of the opening ceremony of an upcoming World Water Congress & Exhibition event with the term ending at the close of the next WWC&E.[7] The association's work and strategy is guided and directed by its Governing Assembly, Board of Directors, Strategic Council and committees.[5] Votings for the position of IWA President (chairperson of the board) have occurred during a world congress or by the association’s Governing Assembly at the IWA annual general meeting. A vice president and a senior vice president is also elected as officers.

During the merger in 1999, two co-presidents, both hailing from South Africa, were elected at the Buenos Aires Congress. They were tasked with overseeing a two-year transition period from September 1999 through October 2001 (the IWA Congress in Berlin) as the newly formed organization, worked towards operational establishment.[1] Diane D’Arras of France became the association's first female president in October 2016.[27] Due to a delay caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the presidency of Tom Mollenkopf became effective in May 2001 despite being elected for his first term in October 2019.

Publications

edit
 
 
(T–B) Water21 was replaced by The Source as the membership magazine for the IWA in 2015.

IWA Publishing Ltd. (IWAP) was established as the wholly owned subsidiary of the International Water Association in January 1999, in anticipation of the merger between IAWQ and IWSA, with the purpose of providing information services on all aspects of water, wastewater and related environmental fields, and would take over journal, book and magazine publications from the previous associations.[45] The company's portfolio include the publishing and printing of periodicals and a broad range of peer-reviewed scientific journals alongside over 800 books, research reports, manuals of best practice, and online services.[46][47] The Journal Citation Reports lists Water Research with the highest impact factor of 11.236 (2020) among the company's journals.[48]

A member and trade exhibition magazine, named Water21 was launched to coincide with the creation of IWA, publishing six issues each year with a worldwide circulation of approximately 20,000, and combining elements from the previous periodicals, IAWQ's Water Quality International and IWSA's Aqua News.[45] The Water21 magazine's final issue was published in June 2015, when the magazine was rebranded and relaunched quarterly as The Source in September 2015.[49] At one point a Chinese language supplement for the Water21 magazine, aimed at the Chinese water market, was published twice a year in a joint venture between IWA and Aquatech China with a circulation of 41,000. Two newsletters, named Water Utility Management International (WUMI) and Water Asset Management International (WAMI), were quarterly publications produced by the Water21 team between 2005/2006 and 2015. The first book published was Wastewater Treatment Systems in 1999.[21]

In July 1999, the first new publication under IWA Publishing, Journal of Hydroinformatics, was launched in partnership with the International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR), and later International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS).[45][1][50] From 2000, the publication of the three journals Water Science and Technology (previously published by Elsevier on behalf of IAWQ), AQUA and Water Supply (previously published by Blackwell Scientific Publications on behalf of IWSA) was continued by IWA Publishing, while the publication of Water Research journal, on behalf of IAWQ, was continued by Elsevier in association with IWA.[45] Having had Elsevier as the publisher for the first four volumes, the official journal of the World Water Council, Water Policy, was transferred to IWA Publishing from 2003.[51] Activities related to safe drinking-water by the World Health Organization (WHO) have since 2003 included a collaboration surrounding the publication of the Journal of Water and Health by IWA Publishing.[52] In 2012, the publication of Water Quality Research Journal of Canada was passed from the Canadian Association on Water Quality (CAWQ) to IWA Publishing.

The first open access article was published in 2006 in the Journal of Water & Health and in 2016 the H2Open Journal became the first fully open access journal.[21] Almost a quarter of all articles published in IWA Publishing journals in 2020 were open access.[21] The publishing branch of IWA became a member of the Open Access Scholarly Publishing Association (OASPA) in 2021.[53] Ten of IWA Publishing's journals became open access via a "Subscribe to Open" model (S2O) in 2021.[6] In an agreement reached with Electronic Information for Libraries (EiFL), libraries continue to pay subscriptions and generate a revenue stream allowing the journals to be freely read and free to publish in by everybody.

Conferences and workshops

edit
 
Flags at the entrance to the IWA World Water Congress & Exhibition, September 2022, at the Bella Center Copenhagen.[57]

IWA annually hosts approximately 40 specialist conferences and workshops on various aspects of water management.[5][15] Flagship events organized by the IWA include the World Water Congress & Exhibition (WWCE) since 2000 and the biennially Water and Development Congress & Exhibition, with its first edition held in 2009.[57][58][2] The Conference for Water Safety, previously held in Lisbon (2008), Kuching (2010), Kampala (2012), Palawan (2016), Narvik (2022) and Montevideo (2024), and involving the discussion and implementation of Water Safety Plans (WSPs), is organized by the IWA and for the first five editions it was co-sponsored by the World Health Organization (WHO).[59][60][61] The Leading Edge Conference on Water and Wastewater Technologies (LET) have been held annually since the first edition at Noordwijk, the Netherlands in 2003, with the exception of years 2020–2021.[62] The Design, Operation and Economics of Large Wastewater Treatment Plants (LWWTP) conferences represent the longest-standing specialized conferences organized by a IWA specialist group (SG), the LWWTP group, who persisted through IAWQ's merger with IWSA into IWA and initially organized the first conference as a workshop in 1971 in Vienna, Austria.[63][64]

The first World Water Congress held under the auspices of the IWA was technically organized under IAWQ congress traditions, while the second WWC was organized as an IWSA/DVGW styled congress.[1] The program committee created for the third congress, held together with the Enviro 2002 Convention & Exhibition, designed the technical program, and was subsequently used as a standing committee for future congresses to ensure both quality and continuity.[1] The 6th edition of the World Water Congress & Exhibition was visited by 4,500 participants from 94 different countries, which by the 11th edition in Tokyo had increased to 9,815 participants from 98 countries, while 8,900 water professionals from utilities, academia, private companies, governments, and global organizations, of 102 countries, took part in the 12th edition in Copenhagen.[65][12][66] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe imposing major limitations on travel, the 12th edition of WWC&E was moved to 2022.[67] As a replacement, between 24 May and 4 June 2021 an online event known as 2021 IWA Digital World Water Congress was held, providing an opportunity for presenting papers originally prepared for WWC&E 2020 accompanied by plenary sessions, over 100 presentations and live Q&A sessions.[21][6]

The 1st edition of the Water & Development Congress & Exhibition was visited by 400 delegates from 60 countries, organized by the IWA and National Autonomous University of Mexico, while the 6th edition saw 3,142 participants attend from over 100 countries.[68][69] The 5th IWA Water and Development Congress & Exhibition was not held at a conference center or university, but took place in buildings and under temporary tents at a water treatment plant in Buenos Aires, Argentina.[70]
