Society of Water Chemistry
A pillar of the water research network
The Society of Water Chemistry Division was founded in Kiel in 1926 and is a pillar of the water research network in Germany: students and professionals from a range of disciplines who have made water their profession are active here, enthusiastically contributing their expertise to address challenges in a wide variety of fields. The personal encounters and discussion of current professional developments facilitated by the Society of Water Chemistry act as a catalyst for this.
The effects of climate change are being felt worldwide and are particularly evident in connection with water – often in relation to too much or too little water, or deteriorating water quality. Consequently, protecting, treating, safeguarding the quality of, using and managing water are increasingly important tasks. The Division’s members contribute a wide range of perspectives to safeguarding water as an important habitat, an indispensable foodstuff and a fundamental human right – by developing scientific principles and putting them into practice.
The Society of Water Chemistry offers interested professionals:
Our experts have completed a wide range of degree programmes and training courses:
Our members include scientists from the fields of (water) chemistry, (micro)biology, hygiene, hydro(geo)logy, process engineering, engineering and environmental science. They work, for example, at and in universities, universities of applied sciences, research centres, analytical institutes, public authorities, water and energy supply companies, the (chemical) industry and engineering consultancies. The diversity of disciplines and professionally shaped perspectives enables an integrated, multidisciplinary and therefore nuanced approach.
