Inland Waterways International

Campaigning for inland waterways since 1995

IWI is an international organisation established in 1992 to bring together people and organisations that support the worldwide conservation, use, development and appropriate management and promotion of inland waterways. We are guided by a succinct set of five core principles.

We raise public awareness of the benefits of using waterways for a wide range of activities, from inland water transport to cruising, walking, cycling and other recreational uses, as well as appreciating their landscape and architectural heritage. We also promote appropriate restoration and regeneration of waterways that have become derelict. 

Our work is achieved through a broad membership, whose diverse skills and interests are of enormous benefit to what we do. Please join us.
