Scottish Area
Welcome to the Scottish Area of the Institute of Water!

Scottish Area
The Scottish Area committee represents members across the whole of Scotland, from our remote highland and island communities through our busy central belt and down to the Scottish Borders.
We believe the purpose of our committee is to make the Institute of water “alive” for our members. To this end, we pride ourselves on being a vibrant and visible committee that strives to help all members make the most of their membership. As a testament to this commitment, we were named Area Committee of the Year in 2018 and are working hard to be in contention for this award in the coming year.


Our key yearly events include:
President’s Dinner & Innovation Awards (April/May)
Our much-loved fishing trip (August)
Autumn Seminar (October/November)
In addition, to ensure we reach as many members as possible we hold virtual sessions throughout the year and a range of other events, from social evenings to technical site visits and everything in between. For more detail on our upcoming events, see our current events through the filter below. We always welcome any queries or feedback you may have, so please contact us at scotland@instituteofwater.org.uk
