International Association of Hydraulic Engineering and Research
- International Association of Hydraulic Engineering and Research
The International Association of Hydraulic Engineering and Research (IAHR), founded in 1935, is a worldwide independent organisation of engineers and water specialists working in fields related to hydraulics and its practical application. IAHR was called the International Association of hydraulic Research until 1999.
Activities range from river and maritime hydraulics to water resources development and eco-hydraulics, through to ice engineering, hydroinformatics and continuing education and training. IAHR stimulates and promotes both research and it's application, and by so doing strives to contribute to sustainable development, the optimisation 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 programmes such as UNESCO, WMO, IDNDR, GWP, ICSU, The World Water Council; and by co-operation with other water-related national and international organisations.
IAHR publishes two international scientific journals from its headquarters in Madrid, Spain – the Journal of Hydraulic Research, and the Journal of River Basin Management. It also publishes a bi-monthly Newsletter/magazine,and two monthly eNewsletters - one global, and the other European.
Prof. Nobuyuki Tamai was elected President in July 2007 in succession to Dr. Etienne Mansard. Vice Presidents are: Prof. Gerhard Jirka (Europe), Prof. Joseph lee (Asia), and Prof. Peter Goodwin (Americas). Dr. Ramon Gutierrez-Serret is Secretary General, and Dr. Christopher George is Executive Director.
