KWR Watercycle Research Institute

KWR assists the water sector in facing this challenge with powerful means. For all partners in the water-use cycle, we develop and unlock relevant knowledge about the watercycle: from water systems to water technology and (healthy) water quality. Having started out as Kiwa Water Research, a section of KIWA NV, KWR has been an independent entity since 2007. As a research institute, we have built up a solid foundation from over 60 years of research and development for the Dutch drinking water sector companies, our current shareholders. Unique in the world, this collaboration of the water companies in the Netherlands has resulted in a powerful knowledge base and an extensive collective memory for the drinking water sector.
