Presentation

The Slovenian Association for Water Protection (SDZV) was founded in 1991 as a voluntary, independent and non-profit association. Its primary purpose is to develop awareness for the importance of water protection.

The association is a recognised and active partner for local communities and the state in the field of water protection. Its advantage is interdisciplinary knowledge, linking different sciences and objectivity of opinions.

The Association operates in the territory of the Republic of Slovenia and is connected with related societies and associations at home and abroad. It is a member of the International Water Association (IWA), the European Water Association (EWA) and German Association for Water, Wastewater and Waste (DWA).
