It has its roots in International Association on Water Quality (IAWQ) and International Water Supply Association (IWSA), which later merged to form IWA in 1999. IWA comprises leading water professionals and currently there are 10000 individual members with national committees in more than 100 countries. IWA organizes various events to cover all facets of the water cycle. IWA’s main biennial event World Water Congress and Exhibition especially is a world high-file leading event where the entire water community congregates, explore state of the art, and plan for future activities. In addition, in 2005 an Asia Pacific Regional Group (IWA-ASPIRE) was further established and having the first meeting in Singapore. We were actively involved and organized the 3rd IWA-ASPIRE Conference and Exhibition 2009 in Taipei. This event was extremely successful and even later being recognized by IWA President David Garman and Executive Director Paul Reiter as the biggest conference and exhibition (only second to World Water Congress) IWA ever held. IWA publishes various leading research journals; Water Research, especially has a long reputation being the best journal in field of water and wastewater. As a result, actively participating in IWA’s Governing Group, leading various research related programs and activities will significantly increase Taiwan’s impact on World’s water research field. This proposed project aims to organize events such as Asia Pacific Young Water Professional (AP-YWP) Conferences and The World Water Congress and Exhibition, taking the lead in the global water cycle and making Taiwan internationally visible.國際水協會世界水會議青年學者會議
