The European Water Association (EWA) is an independent non-governmental and non-profit making organisation promoting the sustainable and improved manage-ment of the total water cycle and hence the environment as a whole.

With member associations from nearly all European Countries, EWA includes most of the current European Union Member States as well as Nor-way and Switzerland. Today, EWA consists of 25 European leading professional organisations in their respective countries, each representing professionals and tech-nicians for wastewater and water utilities, academics, consultants and contractors as well as a growing number of corporate member firms and enterprises. EWA thus represents about 50,000 professional individuals working in the broad field of water and environmental management.
