About the Conference

The Fourth IWA Specialty Conference on “Natural Organic Matter: From Source to Tap and Beyond” will be held on July 27-29, 2011, in Costa Mesa, California.

The purpose of this 3-day conference on natural organic matter (NOM) is to bring together a diverse, interdisciplinary group of scientists and engineers who are interested in better understanding the environmental dynamics of NOM as it pertains to water research. Because of the increased importance of water reuse, conference discussions will include sessions on effluent organic matter (EfOM) as well.
