Institute of Water celebrates its 80th anniversary

The Institute of Water (IWater) has marked its 80th anniversary of supporting and developing water professionals.

The organisation will mark the milestone with a dedicated campaign that recognises the past, celebrates the present, and seeks to inspire the future.

While the challenges that face the water sector have changed – and now include climate change, sustainability and increased media attention – IWater said that the premise that investing in talent and expertise will deliver the best outcomes for people, the environment, and future generations holds true. 

The professional body said it “remains committed to equipping members to do their day jobs, advocate for the sector and improve the environment and lives of their communities. By tackling the skills gap, addressing industry challenges head-on, and championing professional development, IWater will continue to shape a skilled, resilient, and forward-thinking workforce for the UK water sector.”
