Water Chemistry Society

• the characteristics of water, its constituents and the different transformations in water or caused by water,
• the substances in water,
• the reactions and effects caused by different water types,
• the utilization and treatment of different raw waters to be used as drinking-, industrial-, bath-, mineral-, and curative water,
• the treatment of process water before return in the natural water circle,
• the control, standardization, and development of analytical methods.

• correlation of all chemists and specialists working on the subject water to promote this scientific field,
• promotion of the scientific education in aquatic sciences at German universities,
• exchange of informations, practical experience, and ideas in the field of water chemistry by conferences, publications, and special training courses,
• good relations to water chemistry authorities, associations, and specialists on national and international level,
• contributions to national scientific, technical, legislative and organizing methods of the water quality management .

The Water Chemistry Society, Division of the German Chemical Society, works for:

• the effective protection,
• the significant utilization,
• the appropriate treatment and
• purification, and
• the correct analysis and evaluation of water.
  

• chemists, biologists, limnologists,
• hygienists, hydrogeologists, hydrologists, engineers,
• water research institutions,
• water and waste water authorities,
• water technology companies.
  
  

• the quality of groundwater, spring water, mineral- and thermal water, precipitation water, water in rivers, lakes and reservoirs, sea water,
• the water condition and water protection including organisms and sediments in waters,
• the water treatment and utilization of water as drinking water, mineral water, curative water, process water for industry- and power plants, water of indoor- and outdoor baths,
• treatment of municipal and industrial waste water including sewage sludge,
• economic measures to save water, to reprocess water and to recycle useful material,
• waste disposal and recycling of purified waste water in the natural water cycle,
• analysis of water, waste water, sludge, sediments and soil.

• Universities and research centers,
• National and municipal institutes and authorities,
• Water related associations,
