The Association was originally named the National Water Supply Improvement Association
(NWSIA) and was formed in 1972 to promote the improvement of national water supplies
through desalting, reuse and other water sciences. In 1981, the name was changed to Water
Supply Improvement Association (WSIA). In 1986 subsequent to a merger with the
International Desalination and Environmental Association, WSIA became the North
American affiliate of the International Desalination Association, under its original NWSIA
name. In 1993, the name was changed to the American Desalting Association (ADA). Then
in 2000, the name was changed to the American Membrane Technology Association
(AMTA).
AMTA is an affiliate of the International Desalination Association, and is affiliated with
the Southeast Desalting Association, the South Central Membrane Association and
Southwest Membrane Operator Association.
AMTA membership consists of organizations and individuals from the United States
and other countries. Categories of membership include public and regulatory agencies,
