Water Sewage & Effluent assists the development of the southern African water and sanitation industry through the provision of timely and accurate information serving decision-makers, consultants, contractors, researchers and suppliers. 

The magazine has long been recognised as an important source of business information on opportunities and trends in the South African water industry. Initiatives like the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) are gaining momentum across the continent, and the provision of clean water and sanitation is taking prominence in the development of Africa. This, in turn, creates opportunities for businesses around the globe to bring their expertise and skills to Africa. 

Water Sewage & Effluent is exclusively dedicated to water, sanitation, sewage and effluent treatment (including pipes, pumps and valves). The journal carries authoritative editorial reports on policy, legislation, management, conservation and preservation. It is the watchdog of the industry and presents its readers with all sides of a debate. 

Water Sewage & Effluent is published six times a year in January, March, May, July,
September and November.
