In the framework of the World Water Congress, which is being held in Copenhagen, the Professor Juan Lema, was named Distinguished Fellow of the International Water Association (IWA), an honorary recognition for "his extraordinary contribution in aspects of research and leadership in the global water sector”.

IWA Distinguished Fellow designation is an honorific recognition limited in number, and is for IWA Fellows who have been recognised for their long-term (at least 10 years) extraordinary contributions to the global water sector and leadership role performed in supporting IWA’s mission and objectives. The IWA Distinguished Fellows are recognised primarily for their long-term past achievements and the recognition is based on peer recognition of the past achievements in the water sector.

Congratulations Juan!!!
