Welcome to SWIG Website

Welcome to the website for the Sensors for Water Interest Group, SWIG. SWIG's focus is on the use of sensors for measurement and control in water and wastewater treatment processes and in natural waters, such as rivers, lakes, and the marine environment.

SWIG organises Workshops where invited speakers and enthusiastic audiences can debate the practical problems and current challenges in the development and application of sensors to the measurement and control of water.
