IWA is committed to recognising the special contributions and achievements of its members and wider water sector professionals, and the invaluable contribution they make to global progress in water science and management.
The IWA Awards recognise the broad range of excellence, leadership and innovation which IWA members and others bring to both our Association and the sector at large. Through this recognition, the awards encourage tangible progress that contributes to the sustainable management of water. As such, the awards are an important element of IWA’s theory of change articulated in our Strategic Plan.
IWA Awards represent a vehicle through which IWA encourages and rewards innovation and sets international benchmarks for innovative thinking and the application of solutions for wise water management and practice.
The 2022 IWA Awards have been presented at the IWA World Water Congress & Exhibition, 11-15 September 2022, in Copenhagen, Denmark. The Awards ceremony took place during the Opening Plenary on 11 September 2022.
