Who Are SWIG?
SWIG was originally set up in 1993 along with other Special Interest Groups, with funding from the DTI Advanced Sensor Technology Transfer Programme. SWIG became a limited company in 1996. We are a not for profit information, ideas-exchange, and networking group with a diverse membership drawn from the water and process industries, sensor manufacturers and their distributers, academic institutions involved in sensor research, regulatory bodies and consultants working in the field of water management.
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to make the world of water a better place through the informed use of sensors. We do this by increasing the understanding and use of sensors in water and wastewater processes, in water networks and in the natural environment. We welcome interest from all water sensor enthusiasts.
