Summary Articles
WaterWiki is an information resource for the global water community so we would like the articles to form a comprehensive overview of the key topics in water, wastewater and environmental science. Over time, we hope to build a collection of summary articles that will make the IWA WaterWIki THE online reference point for water, wastewater and environmental science and management issues.
The WaterWiki is not an online journal publishing original research. We welcome contributions that:
- Introduce subject categories/topic areas
- Summarise journal papers
- Summarise magazine articles
- Summarise books/book chapters
- Describe Case Studies
- Discuss technical reports
Your article could be a general discussion about your subject e.g. Wastewater Treatment, or it could focus in detail on one interesting aspect of the subject e.g. Oxidation Processes in Wastewater Treatment. Be sure to reference your material with links to your online publications.
The examples are given as a guide. Please Contact Us for further guidance on contributing.

Articles Promoting Your Book
The IWA WaterWiki is an online information resource for the global water community that is accessible to all.

The article could be a review covering the book. It could focus in detail on one interesting aspect of the book. Or it could be a more general discussion about the importance of the subject. Create a new article, correct, edit or expand existing Wiki pages, using material from your book.
