Task Groups and Task Forces

IWA’s flexible global network format allows for Task Groups and Task Forces to be established for specific activities.

Task Groups are formed to further our understanding of the solutions available to address global water challenges. They perform a defined task over a specific period of time. This includes the production of IWA Scientific and Technical Reports, Manuals of Best Practice and Position Papers that influence policy and regulation. Participation in a Task Group is by invitation.

Task Groups cross the traditional boundaries between water science and practice, building upon the strengths of both to exploit opportunities to find solutions for complex water challenges. Occasional Task Forces are similar but generally have a broader remit.
