IAHR’s Technical Committees are comprised of IAHR members who are professionally active in fields aligned with their Committee’s specialisation.

Technical Committees help to advance research and progress within their fields by sharing and promoting knowledge. Committees regularly organise specialist conferences and symposia, facilitate collaboration on specific research themes, develop monographs and other publications, and ultimately help to accelerate aspects of water engineering and science for resilient societies and healthy environments.

IAHR Technical Divisions provide the operational framework for these Committees.
