CHENNAI, INDIA
Organised byIndian Institute of Technology Madras
CHENNAI, INDIAMISSION
The objective of the current IAHR APD congress series is to bring together
scientists, engineers and researchers in the region to share their ideas andexperiences in the area of hydraulic research including Maritime Hydraulics. Therdh
main theme of the 23 congress is Water-From Land to Sea- Conservation andManagement. The Asia-Pacific rim has been experiencing floods as well as waterproblems forcing Researchers to work towards conservation, mitigation and also tocope up with the climate change effects on the water Resources. The 2015 flood inChennai and the recent mammoth floods in China are examples. The
sedimentation hampering smooth transport through navigable rivers, closure ofriver mouths, coastal erosion are problems that are perineal needing attention. Therdclimate change adds a new dimension to the problems aforementioned. The 23
IAHR APD Congress will provide an excellent forum for exchange of ideas andexperience among scientists, engineers and researchers with a common interest inwater environment and hydraulic problems.
