CIWEM HK was
established in 1987 when the Institution of Public Health Engineers
merged with the Institution of Water Engineers and Scientists and the
Institute of Water Pollution Control to form the Institution of Water
and Environmental Management. As the only branch of CIWEM in Asia, the
differences in economy, climate and culture make CIWEM HK unique when
compared with the other CIWEM branches across Europe. Hong Kong's rapid
rate of development combined with a high population density in a
relatively small area of readily developable land, present totally
different challenges to professionals engaged in managing water
resources and the natural environment.
