The Water Safety Planning Specialist Group (WSP SG) has been formally constituted, following elections to positions on the management committee (Chair - José Vieira, University of Minho, Portugal; Vice-Chair – Huw Taylor, University of Brighton, UK; and Secretary – Rui Sancho, Águas do Algarve, Portugal).  The WSP SG will aim in the medium- to long-term to increase global WSP dissemination, particularly with regard to small and medium systems, and will help to fill knowledge gaps associated with their implementation and management. The group invites all members of IWA that wish to participate in this project, or would like further information, to contact the group at:
