National Chapters

About our chapters

IAH’s National Chapters are a valuable means of bringing scientific, professional and social benefits to our members and community, and also enable the Association to promote sound and sustainable groundwater use at a country and regional level. Some even collect fees in local currency for the convenience of our members. National chapter committees are run on a voluntary basis by members and we are very grateful for their efforts.

We currently have over 40 national chapters and are keen to to establish more. Use the listings below to find and contact your local chapter.
