Society information

The International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR), founded in 1935, is a worldwide, independent organisation of engineers and water specialists working in fields related to hydroenvironmental science and its practical application. It promotes the advancement and exchange of knowledge through working groups, specialty symposia, congresses, and publications on water resources, river and coastal hydraulics, risk analysis, energy, environment, disaster prevention and industrial processes.

The Journal of Ecohydraulics (TJoE) is also supported by the China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research (IWHR). The history of IWHR can be traced back to the establishment of the first Hydraulic Laboratory in Tianjin in 1933. Over 50 years of evolution since its establishment in 1958, IWHR has now become the largest comprehensive research institute at the top level in the field of water resources and hydroelectric power in China.
