International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR)

The International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR) is a worldwide independent organization of engineers and water specialists working in fields related to the hydro-environmental sciences and their practical application.
Activities range from river and maritime hydraulics to water resources development and eco-hydraulics, through to ice engineering, hydro-informatics and continuing education and training. IAHR stimulates and promotes both research and its application, and by so doing strives to contribute to sustainable development, the optimization of world water resources management and industrial flow processes. IAHR accomplishes its goals by a wide variety of member activities including: working groups, research agenda, congresses, specialty conferences, workshops and short courses; Journals, Monographs and Proceedings; by involvement in international programs such as UNESCO, WMO, IDNDR, GWP, ICSU, and by co-operation with other water-related international organizations.
IAHR publishes five international peer-reviewed scientific journals, a quarterly magazine and a series of monthly  e-Newsletters for the international water community.
