SUMMARY:IAHR 2019 Congress
DESCRIPTION:Global interest in water has increased rapidly in recent years. Many water issues are high on the political agenda\, whether it concerns the lack of access to safe water and sanitation or the increase in water‐related disasters due to floods and droughts. \nThis challenge must be addressed by management and policy decisions informed by science and engineering knowledge that is relevant\, credible\, legitimate and delivered in a timely manner. Therefore the discipline of hydro-environment engineering and research is more important than ever. The 38th IAHR World Congress will bring together the key players in the sector from around the globe in “Water – Connecting the World“\, from 1-6 September 2019 in Panama.

SUMMARY:3rd World Irrigation Forum & 70th IEC Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The triennial World Irrigation Forum (WIF) aims to bring together all the stakeholders involved in irrigation of multi-disciplines and all scales\, including the policy makers\, experts\, research institutions\, non-governmental organizations and farmers. It provide a platform for the world irrigation community and interested development professionals to find solutions to problems plaguing the irrigated agriculture\, in time of depleting freshwater resources as a result of global warming and climate change. \nICID provides a unique platform for multi-stakeholder in World Irrigation Forum (WIF) for sharing and learning by engaging in issues of interest at global level. WIF also gathers a wide range of experts from various fields to discuss important issues highlighted. \nThe World Irrigation Forum stimulates and promotes multi- disciplinary discussions towards sustainable solution to water management in agriculture through: \n•Exchange of latest irrigation and drainage policies\, practices\, innovations and technologies; \n•Exploring and formulating concrete inter-disciplinary proposals; \n•Development of liaison/ collaboration among various national / international institutions/ organizations/ private sector working for irrigated agriculture; and \n•Advocacy for political commitments. \n\nThe International Executive Council (IEC)\, the highest decision-making body of ICID\, is vested with the management of the affairs of ICID. IEC meets every year to transact business of administrative and technical in nature. All technical workbodies of ICID meet prior to the Council meeting and these meetings are termed as Pre-Council meetings. \nAnnual IEC meeting is always preceded by the annual meeting of various technical working group/ task teams\, and meetings of various workbodies such as PCSO\, PCTA\, PFC etc. \nIEC related meetings are also preceded by ICID triennial Congresses\, newly conceptualized World Irrigation Forums\, and Regional Conferences in a three-year cycle. This dual purpose approach while on one side helps ICID meet its objectives\, it also provides opportunity to address specific global technical issues\, regional issues and provides platform to interact with its stakeholders and have a better outreach to disseminate its messages and achieve its mission and goals.

SUMMARY:3rd Baikal International Ecological Water Forum
DESCRIPTION:This year\, the Third Baikal International Ecological Water Forum will be held in a responsible period for the country – at present\, the Government of the Russian Federation is implementing 12 national projects in accordance with Presidential Decree No. 204 of May 7\, 2018 “On the national goals and strategic objectives of the Russian Federation for the period until 2024 “. The project “Ecology” is one of the most important\, providing for the implementation of a set of measures\, in particular – the rehabilitation of fresh water sources\, including Lake Baikal. \nAs the organizer of the Third Baikal International Ecological Water Forum\, the Government of the Irkutsk Region will focus on the effectiveness of the implementation of the national project “Ecology”\, the ideas of which will form the basis of the business program\, exhibition exposition and competition program. \nThe forum will be held under the motto “Clean Water – the key to Sustainable Development” and will promote constructive dialogue among participants and the formation of mutually beneficial partnerships in addressing pressing issues of preserving Lake Baikal and sustainable development of the Baikal natural territory. \nThe main objectives of the Forum are to draw the attention of the authorities\, the public and business to the close interdependence of the ecological quality of the aquatic environment and public health. Raising the priority status of preservation and development of lakes and lake regions in the political agenda of the countries participating in the Forum\, promoting the integration of lake regions. Expansion of business ties and public-private partnership in environmental projects\, the flow of investment into the region. \nThe business program includes plenary sessions\, thematic sections\, discussion and presentation platforms. Topics of the national project “Ecology”: “Preservation of Lake Baikal”\, “Integrated Solid Municipal Waste Management System”\, “Clean Water”\, “Preservation of Biological Diversity and Development of Ecological Tourism”\, “From Ecological Education and Education of Young People to Ecological Culture population” will be the main leitmotif of the discussions. \nThe project “ECO-Generation” (Ecology. Culture. Education)\, initiated by the organizers at the first Forum\, will be further developed. Its participants will again be representatives of the younger generation – from schoolchildren to students. An extensive educational and cultural program is provided for them\, the main purpose of which is to cultivate a responsible attitude to nature. \nBy tradition\, the Forum will take stock of two competitions – the International Technology Competition and the Educational and Educational Projects Competition.

SUMMARY:24th ICID International Congress & 71st IEC Meeting
DESCRIPTION:ICID has been organising its flagship triennial event International Congress on Irrigation and Drainage since 1951.  The 1st ICID Congress was held in 1951 at Delhi and so far ICID has held 23 Triennial Congresses\, the most recent 23rd ICID Congress being held in Mexico City in October 2017. The list of questions addressed by the Congresses clearly indicates a progressive shift from purely technical questions to sustainability of irrigation and global water and food security issues. For example\, questions for the second Congress (1954) were the problems of freeboard in irrigation canals\, the maintenance of irrigation canals with special reference to weed control and safe yields and recharge of groundwater. At the 5th Congress (1963) the question of economics and financing of irrigation and flood control works and rehabilitation and modernisation of irrigation and drainage systems appeared at the 11th Congress in Grenoble in 1981. The effect of irrigation and drainage was introduced at the 14th Congress in Rio (1990). Water management and institutional aspects were introduced at the 15th Congress in The Hague in 1993.  Sustainability of irrigation and farmer participation were the two questions of the 16th Congress in Cairo (1996) and at the 18th Congress in Montreal (2003) the questions of food production under water scarcity\, poverty alleviation and environmental challenges.

SUMMARY:46th IAH Congress: Groundwater management and governance – coping with water scarcity
DESCRIPTION:Groundwater management and governance – water scarcity. The IAH Spanish Chapter (IAH-GE) and the Center of Hydrogeology of the University of Malaga (CEHIUMA) are honored to host and invite you to the 46th IAH Congress in Malaga\, Spain in 2019. \nStudies on groundwater sustainability show that aquifers across the world are undergoing severe and unsustainable groundwater depletion. The Mediterranean is likely to be one of the most endangered regions\, with climatic models also predicting that there will be severe drought events and significant reduction of water availability. Appropriate management and governance of water resources are needed to adapt to such critical scenarios and cope with their consequences. The conference will examine this under 8 topics: \n• Groundwater management and governance\n• Groundwater and climate change\n• Groundwater sustainability\n• Groundwater footprint and virtual water\n• Tools\, methods and models to study groundwater\n• Groundwater\, wetlands and natural heritage\n• Groundwater and socio-economic development in Latin America\n• Groundwater quality and pollution processes \nKey dates:\n– Abstract submission by 19 March 2019\n– Early bird registration fees available before 30 June 2019.
