ADAPTING RIVER MANAGEMENT IN AN ERA OF

CHANGE

15th November 2018- Salón de Actos- Edificio Agrónomos 

Scope

We live in an era of changes (climate, technology, demography,…). River systems are sensitive to global change and require innovative integrated management in order to adapt to changes and ensure sustainability of their multiple uses.

Leading Universities, Companies and Organizations in Water Engineering and Management will join to discuss and set a lines of action to address this challenge in  SPAIN WATER 2018 ADAPTING RIVER MANAGEMENT IN AN ERA OF CHANGE, an International Workshop conceived to foster research and technology transfer in River Systems.

SPAIN WATER events are long established as reference event top-leading institutions committed with innovation in Water Management and Engineering in Spain. In this Edition the International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR) and Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) collaborate to co-organize the Conference reaching a wider audience thanks to the River Adapt network.

Proceedings will be published by IAHR Publisher. Selected papers will be promoted for its publication in IAHR Journals and Ingeniería del Agua.
