Specialist group news
ICSewage
An International Collaboratory for Sewage (IC-Sewage) has been established as a part of our Specialist Group for the study of the fecal microbiota in waters of the world to improve the public health and facilitation of the sanitation movement. The overall mission of the IC Sewage will be to advance our understanding of the impact of wastewater on water quality and health throughout the world and to set the stage to meet and document improved sanitation, sewerage, and wastewater treatment for the global community. So far, 34 groups around the world including Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Korea, Israel, South Africa, Tanzania, Malawi, Netherlands, Spain, United Kingdom, Italy, Greece, Norway, Canada, United States, Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, Australia, and New Zealand who are experts in microbiological monitoring of water quality have agreed to play an active role as IC Sewage laboratories.
