GFA (Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Abwassertechnik e.V.) acts as a service organisation for the DWA (Deutsche Vereinigung für Wasserwirtschaft, Abwasser und Abfall e.V.) and publishes journals on the working areas of the DWA – water and waste management. It promotes the fields of water management, wastewater and waste management in close co-operation with the DWA. The German Association for Water, Wastewater and Waste (DWA) is intensively committed to the development of safe and sustainable water and
waste management. As a politically and economically independent organisation, it works professionally in the fields of water management, wastewater, waste and soil protection. In Europe, the DWA is the association with the largest number of members in this field and occupies a special position thanks to its expertise in setting regulations, educating and informing experts and the public. The approximately 14,000 members represent specialists and managers from municipalities, companies, engineering offices, authorities and universities.

Messe München GmbH
Germany
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The European Water Association is one of the official partner of IFAT Munich. IFAT is the world's leading network for environmental technologies: here, more than 2,900 exhibitors from all over the globe present their solutions for water, sewage, waste and raw materials management to around 119,000 international trade visitors.
And with 48 percent of exhibitors and 49 percent of visitors coming from abroad, IFAT is also the most international trade event in the field of environmental technologies. Spanning 270,000 square meters and thus occupying all 18 halls plus an extensive outdoor area of the Messe München trade fair center, half of the event is dedicated to the water and sewage sector and covers the whole spectrum from supply and recycling to disposal. IFAT hence not only offers the ideal setting for top market players to find out about latest trends and challenges in the various markets, but also to discuss strategies for making the best possible and sustainable use of the ‘blue gold’. Strengthening the circula economy plays an essential role here. It is about keeping resources circulating as well as using them sustainably and repeatedly. Circular economy ultimately means a raw material shift. And in view of the increasing water shortage worldwide – partly caused by climate change – it is more important than ever to make maximum use of this resource.
