39th IAHR World Congress, 2022 «From Snow to Sea» (International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research)

The central theme of the Congress will be “From Snow to Sea”, linking past with present and focusing attention on the importance of considering the integral water cycle to address present and future challenges.

Specific topics including Human-water relationships, Snow, river and sediment management, Environmental hydraulics and urban water cycle, Hydraulic structures, Water resources management, valuing and resilience, Computational and experimental methods, Coasts, estuaries and shelves and Extreme events: from droughts to floods will be covered in regular sessions. Special Sessions will also be organized in collaboration with worldwide experts in the different fields.

The Congress will provide a platform for science and practice to meet. A lively exhibition alongside the congress will present the latest developments in equipment, software and instrumentation as well as enhance relevant achievements from practice. Workshops and training events will be offered as well throughout the event.
