Issue 3, 2020. Special 85th IAHR anniversary issue

To celebrate IAHR's 85th anniversary, we are happy to announce that this issue is FREE ACCESS. Share it!

Hydrolink is celebrating the 85th anniversary of the association by looking into its past, present and future. This special issue includes some reflections on the history of IAHR and its recent achievements under the leadership of the current and three past presidents. Six leading women members also share their thoughts on progress towards greater diversity and gender equity within the association and in water issues. Young professionals from across the globe discuss the challenges and aspirations of a new generation of engineers and scientists working on hydro-environment science and engineering. Regional concerns, in particular the case of Africa, which is one of the current strategic objectives of IAHR and requires greater engagement, are also addressed. The issue includes technical articles from IAHR Institute members presenting developments in solutions for fish-friendly hydropower, optimizing the size of surge vessels, and hydraulic studies to improve the safety of historic dams.
