Introduction

The National Committees of the IHP/ICID invite you to Mullingar for the 19th National Hydrology Conference to be held on Tuesday 20th November 2018 at the Mullingar Park Hotel. This event is Ireland’s leading Conference devoted to Hydrology providing a unique forum for attendees to share policy developments, research results, and practical solutions to engineering hydrology issues.

Conference Theme

The theme of this year’s conference will focus on the interaction between hydrology and communities. Interactive community engagement and involvement is crucial for the successful implementation of water policies and projects. Allowing all stakeholders to bring forth their concerns and opinions can lead to reduced delays and costs, improved design, and a higher level of acceptance amongst the community. Increasingly the idea of community based (citizen science) monitoring and observation networks is gaining acceptance for enhancing the design of water related projects. It is therefore important to highlight the mutual benefits that can be gained from the participation of communities in the hydrological design process.
We would like to invite submissions of papers/posters that highlight how communities are informing hydrology related policies and projects and the mutual benefits to be gained from working together. These topics can range from case studies, to practical applications of hydrological practices, to research focused projects.

Whom Should Attend?

• Local Authority Engineers and Planners
• Engineering Consultants, Researchers, Hydrologists, Environmental
• Engineers and Scientists
• Policy makers from all relevant fields
• Professionals involved with the implementation of the various EU water management Directives.
