POSTPONEMENT OF IWA NSS CONFERENCE

The recent developments of the COVID-19 and its global escalation, has forced many countries to institute drastic measures amongst which is the restrictions of movement of citizens and visitors into and out of the country.  The IWA NSS Committee has taken the decision  to postpone the event by a year to 4 to 8 July 2021 at the same venue.  We believe that this decision is in every ones interest. We wish to thank you all for the support and understanding.
