Announcements
Sewer Systems & Processes Working Group
This Working Group was formed in 1997 under the umbrella of The International Water Association (IWA) and The International Association for Hydraulic Research (IAHR) Joint Committee on Urban Drainage (link), as a group with activities regarding physical, chemical and biological aspects of sewers.
Objectives and Scope
To disseminate information about sewer systems, in particular to coordinate research and development activities relating to physical aspects (structure and layout), physical processes (hydraulics and transport of solids), chemical and microbial processes (pollutant occurrence, transformations and interactions), and interactions where appropriate with sources and destinations such as environment (via overflows) and treatment plants. Activities will relate to system design, operation, rehabilitation/renovation, maintenance and control, and will overlap to some extent with IWA specialist groups. However, the group will act as a focus for (in-sewer) process activities. See also the SS&PWG statutes.
