The Canadian Water Resources Association (CWRA) is a national organization of individuals and organizations from the public, private and academic sectors that are committed to raising awareness of the value of water and to promoting responsible and effective water resource management in Canada. CWRA membership consists of water users and water resource professionals including managers, administrators, scientists, academics, students and young professionals.

CWRA has branch organizations in most provinces and members throughout Canada and beyond. Members can also participate in the affiliates dealing with education, hydrology or water and agriculture.

CWRA activities include organizing conferences, symposiums and workshops dealing with a wide range of water issues, quarterly publication of the Canadian Water Resources Journal and the newsletter, Water News, as well as publishing papers and reports.

From its beginning as the Western Canada Reclamation Association to the energetic organization that exists today, the common connection continues to be the importance of water to Canadians.

CWRA is recognized for its capacity to facilitate discussion among water users and water resource professionals. Members want to share their knowledge and learn more about water management in Canada. The perspective can be from the private and public sectors in hydrology, irrigation and drainage, biology to climate change and education. CWRA also has an active Student and Young Professionals section and is developing the opportunity to engage Skilled Newcomers.

CWRA activities are delivered through branch organizations in most provinces and members are present throughout Canada and beyond.
