The Water Network is independent, sector focused, and predominantly self governed by its members. We support a social concept of cooperation that encourages diversity of content, views from reputable parties, and avoids philosophical issues. The Network Administrators retain the right, however, to delete any content and members not adhering to these guidelines may be asked to leave the community.
We are devoted to a policy of neutrality, security and reliability mirroring the culture of Switzerland, where we are headquartered and where all of our hosting and data storage is located. The role of The Water Network Administration is to encourage respectful dialog, maintain quality of content, and encourage behavior in line with these rules of engagement. The Administration, including the Executive Committee and all editors, do not take a stand on either side of an issue.
Engagement in The Water Network is intended to uphold a high standard of professionalism. This means that, all individuals are requested to identify themselves with their real names, not synonyms, and to be transparent and accurate in representing who they are, in terms of their experience and expertise. The Water Network is ad-free. The source of all content uploaded to the Network is indicated and the member who uploads or modifies the content is always identified.
