21-25 Sep 2020 – Daegu, Korea
IWRA’s XVII World Water Congress
Foundations for Global Water Security and Resilience: Knowledge, Technology and Policy. IWRA’s World Water Congress is the largest congress of its type – bringing together international water researchers and policy practitioners - and has taken place once every three years since 1973. It is a great international event to share your latest work, and to better understand the latest developments in water resource management from other parts of the world. It offers a unique networking opportunity for scientists to inform policy development, and for policy practitioners to steer upcoming research. The theme of water security and resilience is a critical issue for researchers and practitioners everywhere, as we face increasing uncertainty due to climate change, population growth and urbanisation. It is also an occasion for national and international institutions to present through special sessions their latest projects, calling for feedback and collaboration in this work. The first World Water Congress to be held in East Asia; find out more about Korea's world leading water industry!.
Price: For Developing and Developed Countries

11-15 Jan 2021 – Mexico City
14th International Conference on Hydroinformatics
Water, Technology, science. (NOTE NEW DATES, OWING TO COVID-19)
Humanity currently faces great challenges and, without question, the most pressing one has to do with the management of water; an element without which it is impossible to conceive life on our planet. Scientific progress has enabled water systems in the world to be more efficient and, above all, more sustainable.
The advent of the so-called digital age and information and communication technologies (ICTs), have led water scientists to develop and use smart monitoring systems that foster a more efficient management of water resources and have promoted the evolution of water infrastructure administration and operability and the use of hydrological data.
These advances and accomplishments have given way to the emergence of a new era in hydraulic engineering: hydroinformatics, a multidisciplinary specialty that includes environmental, sociological, and ethical aspects.
Hydroinformatics uses simulation models and ICTs to solve hydraulics, surface and subsurface hydrology, and environmental engineering problems in order to obtain a better management of water-based systems.
One of the main objectives of hydroinformatics is to generate information and technology to support the decision making of authorities and specialists when structuring public policies.Organised by Mexican Institute of Water Technology and UNAM.
