To date, nearly 90 percent of the world’s wetlands have been degraded or lost. World Wetlands Day raises awareness and increases people’s understanding of the critical importance of wetlands.
Ecohydraulics, at the intersection of two historically different disciplines, ecology and hydraulics, is well positioned to contribute with Nature-Based Solutions to the protection of wetlands while ensuring more sustainable and resilient societies.

Open to all young professionals.
A series of case studies are assigned to the participating teams. After a period of web-based collaborative engineering work, the teams present their project outcomes during an IAHR webinar. Several project stakeholders, including universities, companies, and public authorities are involved in the design and mentoring of the case studies.

From 18 to 19 April 2023 at the University of Sheffield, United Kingdom.
The IAHR-UK Chapter organises this event which focuses on the management of water quality in rivers, urban drainage and water supply networks and their importance for ecological and human well-being. This meeting provides a unique opportunity for research students, academics, researchers, environmental regulators, engineering consultants and water utilities to hear the latest international research on mixing processes, in an excellent networking opportunity.

From 18 to 19 October 2023 in Cartagena, Spain.
Scarcity of water resources, pollution of water bodies, and the high risk of flooding are greatly increased by global warming and changes in the climate system. This event will discuss how water engineering can provide adaptation options, reverse damage and increase resilience.

This new IAHR Book provides a resource for understanding the effluent discharge mechanisms and the approaches for modelling them. It bridges the gap between academia and industry with a focused approach in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling and providing practical examples and applications. With a detailed discussion on performing numerical modelling of effluent discharges in various ambient waters and with different discharge configurations, the book covers the application of OpenFOAM in effluent discharge modelling.

Research papers in theoretical, experimental and computational hydraulics and fluid mechanics, relating to rivers, lakes, estuaries, coasts, constructed waterways, and some internal flows such as pipe flows.
This issue includes: a forum paper portraying Forrest Merton Holly Jr engaged in his last project, which involved the practical application of numerical modelling of unsteady flow to and through a navigation dam; a paper analysing a model based on the exponential function which was proposed to predict the velocity fields in partially vegetated channels; a paper describing...

Papers in all areas of river and floodplain management, including catchments, wetlands and estuarine systems.
Papers selected for this issue have a variety of foci and show a variety of the modelling issues managers of river basins encounter. For example, one paper addresses the question of model generalisation, or how parameter values can be selected to ensure that the model can provide reliable predictions for events other than those used in calibration. Another paper addresses the question of how downstream flooding due to a dam break can be used to develop operating rules for a dam. A third topic, assessing sediment in rivers and entering dam reservoirs, is addressed in a number of papers…

Papers and practical case studies on all aspects of hydro-environment engineering and research.
This issue contains a paper presenting the implementation of a water quality neural network, a coagulation dose neural network, and a residual neural network model; a study aiming at assessing the performance of different periodic autoregressive models in generating sequences of flows and reproducing regulating reservoirs volumes; an article presenting a proposal for management modelling of a tropical wetland in the frame of the Ramsar Convention...
