Honorary and Fellow Members
Honorary Members
An IWRA Honorary Membership is the highest honour bestowed by the Association and is awarded to those who have made significant contributions to the field of water resources and/or attained acknowledged eminence in some field of water resources, as determined by the Executive Board upon recommendation by the Membership and Awards Committees. This is a recognition by your fellow peers in the water sector and so the IWRA Executive Board shall define the criteria for significant contribution and acknowledged eminence.
Once elected as an Honorary Member, that person will pay no membership fee and retains the designation indefinitely.

Fellow Members
It is a great honour for us to highlight the importance of outstanding members in the history of IWRA. An IWRA Fellow must have been a member for at least ten years, made a significant contribution to the Association and to the field of water resources, as determined by the Executive Board upon recommendation by the Membership and Awards Committees. As this is a recognition by your fellow members, the IWRA Executive Board shall define the criteria for significant contribution.
Once elected as a Fellow Member, that person will need to pay for the Silver level membership, but will automatically be upgraded to the Gold level membership.
