Date: August 4-7, 2025

Venue: Omaha, Nebraska, United States

Summary:  The triennial International Symposium on River Sedimentation (ISRS) was initiated in 1980. Since its foundation, IRTCES has served as the permanent secretariat of ISRS. WASER was inaugurated at the 9th ISRS in 2004, and the ISRS has since become the official Symposium of WASER.     The objective of the ISRS is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers, researchers and decision makers to exchange ideas, research results and technical advances, , and to share experience and information relating to the study of sediment and its management.

Organizer: University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Sponsors: World Association for Sedimentation and Erosion Research (WASER), International Research and Training Center on Erosion and Sedimentation (IRTCES)
