Water Science Forum

The WATER SCIENCE FORUM (WSF) is one of the most active Subject Groups within the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC).  It focuses on the application of chemical sciences in water treatment, disposal of wastewater and the impact of these activities on the environment.  WSF attracts members, and thus expertise, from many sectors within the water community: environmental consultancies, utility companies, industrial treatment companies, academia and regulatory bodies.

The broad AIM of the WSF is to promote the professional and scientific interests of members and to safeguard the public interest in the application of chemistry in water-related industries.

WSF key OBJECTIVES are:

• To keep members up-to-date with current developments within the water sector and to promote Continuous Professional Development. 
• To promote research, education and specialised training in all aspects of water-related chemistry
• To present a corporate view to national and local government on matters of interest to WSF members 

The WSF achieves this by:

• Organising topical meetings and conferences
• Providing financial assistance to encourage professional development
• Contributing to consultation documents from the UK and EC
