WELCOME TO THE 41ST IAHR WORLD CONGRESS

National Organising Committee

It is with immense pleasure and anticipation that we extend our warmest welcome to all of you to the 41st IAHR World Congress in Singapore in 2025. The vibrant city-state of Singapore is well known for its long-term commitment to water management, and broad research and development efforts in innovation and sustainability. We are therefore proud to have this important opportunity to act as the global platform for researchers, engineers, and decision makers in the hydro-environment domains to come together to share recent advances and experiences, identify emerging technology trends, and engage in lively debates.

The Congress’s theme is "Innovative Water Engineering for Sustainable Development". We aim to foster interdisciplinary dialogue, exchange cutting-edge knowledge, and explore innovative solutions to the world's most pressing water-related challenges. Together, we will delve into the complexities of water engineering, hydroinformatics, climate change adaptions, and much more, with a focus on how innovations can further advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the global community.

Lastly, on behalf of the International Scientific Committee, we also like to extend our sincere gratitude to the organizers, sponsors, and participants for their unwavering support and commitment to advancing the frontiers of hydro-environment engineering. Together, let us make this congress a resounding success and a catalyst for positive change.

Welcome to Singapore!
