Welcome!

On behalf of Local Organizing Committee (LOC), I would like to welcome you to the 16th Congress of Asia and Pacific Division of International Association of Hydraulic Engineering and Research (IAHR) and the 3rd IAHR International Symposium on Hydraulic Structures.

The conference is organized by Hohai University and co-organized by the Nanjing Hydraulic Research Institute.

The conference and its series of topics were designed to help meet the challenges of the human demand on water resources and to allow us to play a vital role in the process of developing solutions to these challenges.

The main theme of the congress / symposium is: "Water and Humanity — Friendship, Harmony and Sustainable Development".

Following the central theme the topics of the 16th IAHR-APD congress are

1. Water Resources and Hydrology

a. Hydrology modeling and real-time flood forecasting

b. Flood management, risk analysis and hazard evaluation

c. Surface and groundwater hydrology, urban hydrology

d. Drought and efficient utilization of water resources

2. Environmental and Ecological Hydraulics

a. Environmental effects and management of water resources

b. Flow, jet, plume and stratified flow, and ecological hydraulics

c. Contaminant transport modeling and water quality control

d. Ground water pollution

3. Fluvial Processes and River Engineering

a. Scour, sediment transportation, river dynamics and fluvial processes

b. Flood control and defense, and river rehabilitation

c. Sediment problems in environment and ecology

d. Soil erosion and watershed management

4. Estuarine and Coastal Hydraulics

a. Numerical and physical modeling of coastal engineering

b. Coastal sediment transport and morphology change

c. Wave characteristics and wave-structure interaction

d. Coastal and estuarine environment

The topics of 3rd IAHR-ISHS are

1. Hydraulic Structures for Water Projects

a. New developments in design, construction, operation, monitoring and maintenance of hydraulic structures

b. Numerical and physical modeling

c. Risk and safety assessment

d. Instrumentation and technology in laboratory experiments and field tests

e. Sustainable design of hydraulic structures

2. Hydropower Hydraulics

a. Intakes and outlets, spillways, fish ways and energy-dissipating structures

b. Two-phase flow, pipe flow, cavitation, vibration and aeration

c. Hydraulic machinery

d. Environmental and ecological impact of hydraulic structures

In addition to these topics, there are also two forums. One is entitled as “Resettlement and Social Aspects”. The other is entitled “The Impact of the Wenchuan Earthquake”. After the devastating “Wenchuan Earthquake” in May, several researchers strongly suggested we hold a forum to discuss the influences of the earthquake. Thus, this latter forum will focus on the impacts earthquakes have on water resources, the environment, ecology, and so on.

This year we have had one of the strongest responses to the congress / symposium. A total of 450 papers were received. After rigorously reviewing all of the submissions, 392 papers from 25 countries and regions were ultimately accepted. About 86.72 % of the published papers are from Asia, 7.91 % from Europe, 2.81 % from South America, 2.04 % from Australia and New Zealand, 0.26 % from North America, and 0.26 % from Africa. Most of the papers’ authors will introduce their results either by oral or poster presentation during this week’s conference.

I hope that this conference will provide you, delegates from all over the world, with an open forum to exchange your research, results, and new information and ideas in the fields related to hydro-environment.
