IAHR Biennial Congress

The Congress will focuses on the central roles of hydraulic engineering and hydroinformatics in water engineering for a sustainable environment, and how these roles link to broader aspects of environment sustainability in watershed and coastal settings.

The Technical Program will comprise sessions that address major water engineering topics associated with the sustainable wellbeing of the environment at local, regional, as well as global scales. Topics will include water engineering and hydroinformatics to facilitate the built environment in which people largely live, and to protect and enhance the natural environment that encompasses the built environment. Sessions will examine the research, education, and engineering-practice issues associated with these topics.

The Congress will also offer a series of seminars and keynote lectures on selected “hot topics” of current-event or special concern for water engineering. Some of these topics will be decided in the year leading up to the Congress, so that the Congress will be positioned to respond to selected events or concerns.
