Date: 2015-06-28 to 2015-07-03 Venue: Hague, the Netherlands Summary: It抯 no wonder the global focus on water has increased rapidly. Two major problems face us: the lack of access to safe water and sanitation and increasing water-related disasters such as floods and droughts. Hydro-environment engineering and research is more important than ever. So don抰 miss the next IAHR World Congress at the World Forum in The Hague. From 28 June to 3 July 2015! The 36th IAHR World Congress will provide special emphasis on cross-cutting themes related to Deltas of the Future, looking at what happens upstream, linking hydro-environment research to engineering practice, and reaching out to the developing world. On behalf of the International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR) the Local Organizing Committee cordially invites you to attend! The Netherlands may be a small country, its achievements in high safety level coastal protection works are well-known around the world. Being located in the delta of the Rhine-Meuse river system, the Netherlands has been dealing with issues related to flooding, land reclamation, and sustainable development for centuries already. The Netherlands is also preparing for dealing with future effects or population growth and climate change, by developing new concepts like the Room for the River and Building with Nature programmes. But there are more reasons why the Netherlands offers an ideal location for issues related to water governance and water conflict resolution. The Hague is located near the coast in the Western part of the Netherlands, with easy connections to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, one of the busiest airports in Europe. In early summer, the weather is generally pleasant and warm. The historic city of The Hague is home to the Dutch Parliament and the International Court of Justice. Furthermore, the city of Delft, only 10 km away, holds a number of leading technological institutes focusing on education, research and capacity development in various fields of water and environment. During the week prior to the IAHR World Congress, several short courses and master classes will be given at Delft University of Technology, UNESCO-IHE and Deltares. The Hague is 20 km from the Port of Rotterdam, which is the busiest port in Europe and the world's fifth largest. Key Dates: URL: http://iahr2015.info/
