Water and Wastewater Industry Division
The ISA Water and Wastewater Division (WWID) is concerned with all aspects of instrumentation and automated-control related to commercial and public systems associated with water and wastewater management. Membership in this Division provides the latest news and information relating to instrumentation and control systems in water and wastewater management, including water processing and distribution, as well as wastewater collection and treatment. WWID is invaluable to professionals interested in sanitary technology and engineering, and the operation and maintenance of wastewater facilities. The Division holds an annual symposium that features presentations by industry practitioners and published proceedings.
Our annual symposium is: 2018 ISA Water/Wastewater and Automatic Controls Symposium, which will be held 7-9 August, 2018 in Bethesda Maryland USA (steps away from Washington DC). Symposium website is www.isawwsymposium.com. Download the call for abstracts.
