The journal VOM WASSER, published by Wiley-VCH in Weinheim, continues the tradition of the series published from 1927 to 2004 and has been presented since 2005 in the concept of a magazine published four times a year.
The magazine offers a wide range of current and practice-relevant information for testing laboratories, authorities, water suppliers and waste disposal companies, for environmental monitoring in industry and for applied research. In addition to specialist and short articles, information on new funding measures and projects (Water Research Current), regulations (Water and Law) and standards (DEV Current) as well as dates, short news, abstracts and reports on annual conferences are published.
Contributions to current, applied research topics and projects are welcome! Please address inquiries about submitting contributions to the VOM WASSER Editorial staff ( vomwasser@wiley-vch.de ). An advisory board will advise on the selection and compilation of the specialist contributions.
As part of their membership, members of the Society of Water Chemistry currently receive the print version of the journal and they have free access to the full Online version (first available Online issue: 2/2021) via the protected members area on MyGDCh (automatic redirection after login).

More information
Since its foundation in 1926, one of the aims of the water chemistry Division has been to standardize the testing procedures for assessing water quality. In 1935, the "Physical and Chemical Standard Procedures" were first published by Verlag Chemie, and in 1953 a revised and expanded edition was published under the title "German Standard Procedures for Water Analysis". In 1960, the "German Standard Procedures for Water, Wastewater and Sludge Analysis" were published as a loose-leaf collection so that the individual regulations could be replaced by new versions if necessary.
Since 1976, an agreement has existed between the Division and the DIN German Institute for Standardization, according to which the standard procedures are transferred to DIN standards over time and new standard procedures are developed by the Society of Water Chemistry in cooperation with the Water Standards Committee. All DIN standards based on the standard procedures are also published in this collection. In Technical Committee 147 "Water Quality" of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), international standards on water quality are developed under German leadership, which in some cases are transferred to the German body of standards in the form of DIN-ISO standards; they are then also published in this collection. In the Comité Européen de Normalisation (CEN), the European Standards (EN) on water analysis are developed under German leadership in Technical Committee 230. European standards generally replace existing DIN standards. European standards on water analysis are also included in this loose-leaf collection. To date (as of 2022), a total of 340 procedures have been standardized in one of the ways mentioned above.
The research strategy (edition 1.0 2023) outlines the tasks and multidisciplinary activities of the Main Research Committee. As a result of climate change, fundamentally new concepts must be developed that lead to rapid and sustainable solutions. Water and body of water quality are a valuable asset that has always been given high priority in research in Germany. Almost 1,000 scientists are organized in the Society of Water Chemistry to work together to develop solutions that lead to sustainable and future-oriented water management. The more than 100 scientists in the Main Research Committee discuss current developments, bring them together and examine them with regard to their practical relevance. The focus here is on interdisciplinary approaches, because the topic of water affects many different disciplines.

Application of non-target screening using LC-ESI-HRMS in water analysis
Developed by the Non-Target Screening Technical Committee in the Main Research Committee of the Water Chemistry Society. This guide is intended to provide an initial framework for the application of non-target analysis. Around 20 specialist colleagues from universities, research institutes, authorities and water suppliers contributed their practical experience in the use of high-resolution mass spectrometry in water analysis.
