Each year, WEF proudly presents awards recognizing the hard work and dedication it takes to protect one of the world's most valuable resources.
As each set of awards is announced this summer they will be added to this page.
Created to celebrate outstanding contributions to the global water sector by long-time Water Environment Federation (WEF; Alexandria, Virginia) members, the WEF Fellows Recognition Program each year recognizes the professional achievement, stature, and contributions of WEF members to the preservation and enhancement of the global water environment. These professionals have made a lasting difference for public health and the environment.
