Joint IWA/IAHR SG on Urban Drainage

The Urban Drainage Specialist Group is operated jointly with the International Association on Hydraulic Engineering and Research (IAHR). The group strives to maintain its long-standing broad international recognition as a prominent contributor to the advancement of scientific knowledge in the field of urban drainage. It aims to foster fundamental and applied research on urban drainage, taking into account meteorological, hydrological, hydraulic, water quality and socio-economic aspects, and promotes innovative approaches to urban drainage worldwide. Among its specific interests are urban water quality, sewer sediments, source control, stormwater management, combined sewer overflows, real time control of urban drainage systems, drainage in cold and alpine climates, and data and models for urban water. The group considers its activities in the wider context of urban water systems, with the ambition of developing and promoting sustainable and integrated urban water management.
