#HydrolinkMagazine
Hydrolink is the primary magazine of the IAHR community and one of the highest-rated member benefits. It brings you the latest developments in the field of hydro-environment engineering and research through articles on projects, research, and new methods and tools of interest to the community. It also provides a platform for reporting on IAHR Conferences and news from our members, and offers a forum for exchanging information and spreading the word on topics and projects relevant to the community.
The online version of Hydrolink is open to non-members since 2021 as part of the efforts of the association to disseminate and share knowledge. In addition to the online version, IAHR members will continue to receive their full colour printed copy at their desks periodically as a membership benefit.

Hydrolink 2, 2026 | Remote Sensing
Remote sensing technologies are valuable tools for water resources management and flood protection. Satellites, drones, and airborne sensors can be used to collect hydrologic data such as precipitation, soil moisture, reservoir storage, snowpack, river flows, and lake levels, even in not easily accessible areas. Satellite data on vegetation indices and soil moisture anomalies help assess drought severity and optimize irrigation, thus enhancing crop yields and reducing water waste. Remote sensing also supports the estimation of water quality and pollution in freshwater and marine systems. In flood management, remote sensing methods provide real-time flood monitoring and post-flood damage assessment. The current issue of Hydrolink includes six articles that describe different remote sensing applications for addressing water challenges in different regions of the world.

About the Editor
Angelos Findikakis received his first degree in Civil Engineering in 1968 from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece. After working on water resources planning and development studies in Greece he came to Stanford for graduate studies in 1973. Since 1980 he has been working for Bechtel Corporation in San Francisco. Over the years he worked on a broad range of water studies in support of the permitting, design and construction of several industrial projects including civil infrastructure, power, mining, oil and gas, and waste storage facilities. As a Bechtel Fellow since 1998 he advises senior management on questions related to his expertise, participates in strategic planning, and helps disseminate new technical ideas and findings throughout the organization.
About the Guest Editors
Michael Nones is an Associate Professor at the Department of Hydrologyand Hydrodynamics, Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences. His research focuses on fluvial hydromorphology, combining numerical modelling with monitoring techniques in situ and through remote sensing. He integrates field and satellite-derived data to investigate changes in fluvial and coastal environments, with particular focus on sediment and pollutant transport in freshwater and transitional systems.
Melissa Latella is a junior scientist at the Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change (CMCCFoundation), with a PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Polytechnic University of Turin, Italy. Her research focuseson monitoring and modelling interactions among sediments, water, and vegetation leveraging remote sensing data. She develops services for model-ling soil erosion and sediment dynamics, and decision support tools for landand water resource management.
