Hydrolink Magazine
Editorial Board Latest issue (Free access) Upcoming issues Previous issues (Free access)
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 in 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.
Most articles published in every issue focus on a specific theme developed by the Editor with the support of the Hydrolink Advisory Board and the IAHR Executive Committee. If you would like to propose a theme for a future issue, or contribute an article on one of the planned themes, please contact either the editorial assistant, Estibaliz Serrano, or the editor, Angelos Findikakis.

Hydrolink 4, 2020 | Special Issue on Artificial Intelligence
In the context of the celebration of the 85th Anniversary of IAHR and the IAHR 85th Anniversary Summit (14 to 17 December 2020), we are happy to announce that this issue of Hydrolink is FREE ACCESS. Please share it!
The articles in this issue of Hydrolink clearly demonstrate the potential of the digital technology applications for water management and hydro-environment engineering which have already made an impact in practice. The breadth of applications, from water efficiency improvements via smart domestic water metering, through water and wastewater network anomaly detection, to algal bloom management, also demonstrates the level of maturity that has been attained in the development and application of hydroinformatics, a science field pioneered and championed by IAHR members. Beginning in the late 1980s and early 1990s, IAHR (together with IWA) was among the first professional organizations to recognize the potential and importance of this new field, by establishing an IAHR/IWA joint committee on Hydroinformatics, starting the Journal of Hydroinformatics (published by IWA), and supporting the organisation of a bi-annual conference on Hydroinformatics. Judging by the quality of the papers presented in this issue, the water sector will soon catch up with the sectors and industries that have gone further on the digital transformation curve.
