South West Area
Welcome to the South West Area of the Institute of Water!
South West Area
We are one of eight Institute of Water area committees. We are all volunteers who work in the water sector.
We use our professional experience to develop events and activities to support IWater members in South West Area; helping them to do their day jobs, advocate for the sector and improve the environment and lives of their communities.
Any of our committee members would be happy to talk to you about the benefits of getting involved with IWater.
Joining our Committee
Becoming an IWater volunteer comes with many benefits. You can enhance your CV, improve your CPD, connect with like-minded professionals, give something back to your industry, and develop your skillset.
We’re committed to recognising and thanking our volunteers for their time and contributions. Why not join our volunteering community and contribute to something you’re passionate about?
Any IWater member in the South West Area is welcome to enquire about joining the committee, so we’d love to hear from you!
