| Arab Water World (AWW) – The News Anchor |
Renowned the world over as the premier Business to Business magazine to set sail across the MENA region to serve the Water, Wastewater, Desalination, and Energy sectors, Arab Water World (AWW), has been facing the wave since 1977, steered by Chatila Publishing House (CPH), to become the mother ship for water-related industries in the MENA.
AWW magazine is kicked off with the Opening Letter, the area where the editor-in-chief inks his timely commentaries, thoughts, and impressions to paper. The Open Forum shifts gear as the platform for AWW readers to relay ideas, opinions, and suggestions. The main focus of each issue is branded the Feature section: A melting pot of technical articles on current practices and advancements, case studies, and technologies such as Well Drilling, Filtration, and Desalination, without failing to mention what goes against the current. This year, AWW will be walking on new waters with the introduction of the Power Focus into its agenda to dive into what sparks interest in the hydraulic power sector such as Wind Power and Cogeneration. Market trends, major projects, and new products that are making the headlines take to the fore in the Industry Spotlights section, thereby offering innovative solutions for the different sectors. The issue always carries Country/Regional Reports including water supply and demand as well as water management policies and tried-and-tested solutions. These present a company’s ticket to strike deals when the clock chimes ‘opportunity.’ The Departments area highlights recent industry publications under Industry Literature. Moreover, a special section is devoted to Interviews with decision-makers and specialized professionals as well as lining up corporate profiles. Corporate Happenings and Products and Services are presented via accurate and up-to-date information that meets professional standards and attracts high-quality readership.
