A pillar of the water research network
The Water Chemistry Society was founded in Kiel in 1926 and is a pillar of the water research network in Germany: students and experts from various disciplines who have made water their profession and are enthusiastic about making their expertise available to tackle challenges in a wide variety of subject areas. The personal encounters and discussion of current professional developments that the Water Chemistry Society facilitates are a catalyst for this.
The consequences of climate change are being felt worldwide and are particularly noticeable in relation to water - often in connection with too much or too little water or deteriorating water quality. As a result, the protection, treatment, quality assurance, utilisation and management of water are becoming increasingly important tasks. The members of the specialist group contribute a wide variety of aspects to safeguarding water as an important habitat, indispensable foodstuff and fundamental human right - by developing scientific principles and putting them into practice.Our experts have completed a wide variety of degree programmes and training courses: Shortlinks to this page: www.gdch.de/wchg, www.gdch.de/wasserchemie
In addition to (water) chemists, our members include (micro)biologists, hygienists, hydro(geo)logists, process engineers, engineers and environmental scientists. They work, for example, at and in universities, (technical) colleges, research centres, analysis institutes, authorities, water and energy supply companies, the (chemical) industry and engineering firms.
The diversity of specialist disciplines and professional perspectives enables an integral, multidisciplinary and therefore differentiated approach.
