IWA Publishing publishes on behalf of the International Water Association, a global charity focussed on being the primary source of knowledge and leadership for sustainable urban and basin-related water solutions. This mission is critically important in a world where over 3 billion people lack access to clean water and reliable sanitation. We publish 15 peer reviewed journals and 850 books, working in partnership with agencies such as the World Health Organisation. Our publications cover the entire spectrum of water related topics, including climate change, sanitation, clean drinking water, flood management and all aspects of technology related to water.
