► Theme:

The environment, especially in terms of water quality and protection of ecosystems, is one of major concerns of modern civilization. IAHR created a new Section on “Eco-Hydraulics” in 1990s in order to encourage collaboration between hydro engineers, biologists and chemists so that we can improve our knowledge and capacity to understand the phenomena, predict the effect of human works on natural ecosystems, and find solutions for maintaining acceptable biodiversity in our “hydro” environment. The 8th biennial symposium on ecohydraulics, therefore, has focused on bridging between hydro engineering and ecology in order to produce a synergy effect of understanding and finding knowledge and solutions necessary for conservation and restoration of biodiversity. In this sense, main theme of the symposium has been named as,
Bridging between Ecology and Hydraulics and Leading the Society’s New Need-Living with Nature
 

► Topics for the Symposium

In this symposium, nine sub-themes have been selected to help bridging between the two disciplines and leading the societies’ needs, with some special sessions, which are not limited to the topics presented below.

1. Habitat analysis and restoration
  a. habitat suitability
b. habitat simulation/observation
c. interaction between habitat and hydraulic conditions
2. Sediment-flow-vegetation interaction
a. sediment transport
b. vegetation hydraulics
c. sediment-flow-vegetation interaction
3. Aquatic ecological corridors
a. fish passage/screening
b. fish migration
c. dam removal
4. Environmental flows
a. solute and nutrient transport and exchange
b. environmental flow in integrated water resources management (IWRM)
c. case studies on environmental flow
5. River restoration
a. regulated rivers and habitat restoration
b. urban stream restoration
c. wetland and floodplain restoration
6. Ecology and hydraulics/hydrology in wetlands
a. characteristics of wetland hydraulics and hydrology
b. adaptation of organisms in wetland habitats
c. management of wetland habitats for endangered species
7. Ecology and hydraulics in estuary and coastal regions
a. ecology in coastal regions
b. interactions of tidal flows, waves and sediments
c. changes in ecological/hydraulic environment associated with reclamation
8. High-technology on eco-hydraulics
a. GIS and DIT in eco-hydraulics
b. environmental sensors
9. Global climate change and eco-hydrology
a. flood impacts on aquatic organisms
b. adaptation of aquatic organisms in extreme habitat conditions
c. long-term changes of aquatic environment and organisms

► Special sessions

For better organizing this symposium with more participants and presentations from various sectors and disciplines as well as regions of different natural and social characteristics, it is welcomed for potential participants to this symposium to organize by themselves special sessions related to the above topics. For examples, aquatic habitats in the alpine region, habitats of Atlantic salmon, river restoration in the Monsoon-affected East Asian region, and so on. Persons who want to organize such a special session during this symposium shall submit, no later than September 30, 2009, a session-organizing plan including session topic, theme and number of presentations to LOC for acceptance. A certain incentive will be given a special session organizer. It will be exempt from registration.
