10th International Symposium on Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), 9-13 September 2026 in Canberra, Australia
The 10th International Symposium on Water Resources Management (IWRM) will address the growing need for resilient and inclusive water resource management in the face of accelerating global change.
The 10th edition builds on the legacy of Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) symposia organized by ICWRS, particularly the 9th IWRM in Brazil (2024), while introducing a renewed focus on science-to-practice pathways. Hosting the event in Australia, a region confronting acute water security and climate resilience challenges, adds regional relevance and global significance.
Key topics include:
- Synergies between First Nations and technological knowledge and science
- Adaptive and resilient water systems design
- Decision support and co-design tools
- Local-global integration in water governance
- Trade-offs and synergies across societal, environmental, and economic domains.
The symposium will foster critical discussions and knowledge exchange among researchers, practitioners, and policy actors, with a strong commitment to involving early-career scientists and participants from underrepresented regions.
Invited Speakers:
- The Peter Loucks Lecture will be given by Holger Maier (Adelaide University)
- Prof. Junguo Liu (North China University of Water Resources and Electric Power)
- Prof. Troy Meston (Charles Sturt University, One Basin CRC)
- Prof. Bradley Moggridge (University of Technology Sydney)
- Assoc. Prof. Sally Thompson (University of Western Australia).
