Iranian universities have considerable improvement in quantitative and qualitative development of this science especially in training and technology research and development section
On the other hand, Water & Wastewater companies, which fulfill all practical requirements in this regard, are facing with problems because of financial and technical shortage
Therefore, it was crucial to establish a scientific association to foster the practical needs as well as knowledge improvement at universities
For this reason, a group of Iranian researchers & scientists who have more than 15 years of experiences in the editorial board of Water and Wastewater Journal decided to forge the Iranian water and wastewater association in order to compensate aforementioned lacks and address the existing problems in this field
