The deadline for abstracts has been EXTENDED to January 2, 2009! |
On behalf of the entire local organizing committee and IAHR council members, we invite you to join us in Vancouver, British Columbia for an event you will not want to miss!
We take great pleasure in announcing the 33rd International Association of Hydraulic Engineering & Research (IAHR) Biennial Congress, August 10-14, 2009. Themed “Water Engineering for a Sustainable Environment,” the Congress 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.
By 2009, it will have been 12 years since an IAHR Biennial Congress was held in North
America. The last North American venue was San Francisco, in 1997. That Congress was well received and attracted approximately 1,000 registrants. The North American hydraulics community is extensively represented in IAHR’s membership (some 15-20% of the total) and looks forward to once again welcoming international colleagues to an IAHR Congress at an attractive North American location.
Several organizations with broad representation from the North American water engineering community – namely EWRI-ASCE, COPRI-ASCE, UBC, and CSCE – are collaborating with IAHR to organize the 33RD IAHR Congress and the co-located 19th Canadian Hydrotechnical Conference.
Bookmark this web page now and revisit often as we will update the site frequently with the latest information to make your decision making process easier.
We certainly look forward to your active participation,
