The International Desalination and Reuse Association (IDRA), founded in 1973, serves as the global nexus for the desalination and water reuse community. As a non-profit, non-political organization, IDRA extends its reach to members in over 60 countries, in addition to 15 affiliate member organizations, encompassing both regional and national entities. Our diverse membership includes scientists, developers, off-takers, regulators, end-users, engineers, consultants, media representatives, and researchers, hailing from governments, corporations, and academia. IDRA operates as an NGO with consultative status recognized by the United Nations ECOSOC and as a member of the UN Water Special Framework for Water Scarcity in Agriculture (WASAG), hosted by the UN FAO Land and Water Division.
