The Water Institute of Southern Africa
(WISA) was formed in 1987 when the Southern African branch of the Institute of Water
Pollution Control (formerly the institute of Sewage Purification), which had served the
water industry in Southern Africa for a period of 50 years, was disbanded.
The Institute keeps its members abreast of
the latest developments in water technology and research through its national and
international liaison, links and affiliations.
Currently the Institute has approximately
1800
members and is growing steadily on an annual basis. The Institute embodies a
multidisciplinary approach, and as such, members are drawn from all spheres of employment
and varying disciplinary backgrounds.
