1st IWA Mexico National Young Water Professionals Conference
Mexico City, Mexico
April 9-11, 2008
INTRODUCTION
Concerned with the increasing loss of knowledge through the retirement of many of the experts in the field of water,
the International Water Association (IWA) created the IWA Young Water Professionals Program to provide mechanisms to
ensure that knowledge is not lost upon the retirement of personnel. This Program provides a range of activities,
services and initiatives to young professionals and students in the water and wastewater sector under the age of
35 and also connects with employers, academic institutions and other professional associations to ensure that the
future needs of the sector are understood and addressed and inter-generational dialogue is created to form links
between senior professionals of the sector and young professionals.
Following the spirit of this program, Mexico is organizing the First National Young Water Professionals Conference,
with the aim of gathering post grade students (Master and Doctorate), young researchers, and professionals in the
field of water and wastewater research, technology and management, to present their work and have the opportunity
to exchange ideas with their peers from all over the country. This conference will also be an opportunity for the
author of the best paper to be awarded with support in lodgement and registration to attend, as representative of Mexico, the 4th IWA
Young Water Professionals International Conference, to be held in Berkeley, USA, on July 16-18, 2008.
