PREFACE: WISA 2014 – Water Innovations

Abstract

Jo Burgess Guest Editor of the Special Edition and Chairman of the WISA 2014 Technical Committee This special edition of Water SA includes manuscripts of some of the presentations at the Biennial Conference and Exhibition of the Water Institute of Southern Africa (WISA), held during May 2014 at Mbombela Stadium, Nelspruit, Mpumalanga. Ever since the first WISA conference in Durban in 1985, biennial WISA conferences have been an important event in the calendar for water professionals in South Africa. Some of the biennial conferences of WISA occasionally became regional or international conferences, depending on the availability of resources and topical need for enhancement of interaction with water professionals from other countries. International confer ences have become more frequent because of rapid development in this field needing greater interaction among professionals (scientists, engineers, suppliers of equipments, social scientists and communicators).
