Welcome to the Scottish Area of the Institute of Water!
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 who strive 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 web based “Lunch Byte” 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 events page.
We always welcome any queries or feedback you may have – contact us at scotland@instituteofwater.org.uk
Presidential Handover 2020
The challenging times of late mean that we haven’t been able to welcome you at our usual events, and one of our most loved events of the year, our President’s Dinner, had to be cancelled. However, we want to let you know that the Scottish Area Committee are still here for you and we would like to share a short video message from our Past President, Mark Wilson, and current President, Kes Juskowiak (please see below).
Upcoming Scottish Area Events:
We have been closely monitoring the COVID-19 outbreak and the related Government guidelines. In light of an increase in confirmed cases of Coronavirus in the UK we have taken the difficult decision to postpone several of our IWater regional events.
Our main priority is the safety and health of our members, delegates, speakers and IWater team who are at the front line in providing essential water services and as a result we cannot justify putting anyone at risk.
Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
