Introduction
The Malaysian Water Association (MWA) brings together practitioners in the water service industries value chain. Our membership consists of both individuals and organisations. The strength of the association is derived from the mix of members coming from water supply and sewerage utilities, manufacturers, consultants, contractors, suppliers, regulators and academicians.
MWA is a platform for efforts towards bringing about enhancement of the knowledge and skills of its members while at the same time for promoting awareness of water issues among the public. Together with this, public interests and environmental concerns are also promoted. MWA puts forward views of the members to the authorities and acts as a representative on certain strategic issues. In essence, we are committed towards promoting sustainable management of water services.
Internationally, MWA maintains linkages with related organisations abroad to establish networking in order to realize the water industry’s common universal goals. We are also a Corporate Member of the International Water Association (IWA).
