ISHS2016 – Stepped Spillway Workshop Monday 27 June 2016

The following is from Hubert Chanson:

The 6th IAHR International Symposium on Hydraulic Structures will take place in June 2016 in Portland (http://www.ishs2016.com/). Prior to the event, a workshop on stepped spillways will be held on Monday, June 27 2016, as part of ISHS2016. I am sending you this flyer (attached), in hopes that you can circulate this to any interested individuals, consultants, companies and operators. The course is limited to 50 attendees and should fill very quickly once the registration opens, but we would greatly appreciate your assistance in this effort.

If there is a strong demand, the course may be offered again, possibly in Australia.

ARR/WSUD Workshop

Overview (Updated 2015-08-11)

The ARR team, in conjunction with the 9th International WSUD Conference, are running an workshop to discuss the latest developments in the ARR revision, specifically in the WSUD and urban drainage space. Topics covered will include an overview of the new short duration IFDs and synthetic rainfall for continuous simulation as well as the design of retarding basins. Dr Peter Coombes will also be presenting on current directions in urban drainage.

When ARR is released there will be significant changes to the recommendations and guidelines across the hydrologic sector, with major flow on consequences to engineering and ecologic practice. This workshop is intended to introduce these changes to practitioners working in the fields of WSUD, short duration design and analysis as well as continuous simulation for process modelling. It is also a significant opportunity for industry practitioners to provide feedback to ARR authors and the editorial team into the direction and final outputs of ARR, which is scheduled for launch later this year.

Draft Schedule

The full day programme will run on Monday 19th October 2015.

Call for Abstracts Now Available – 2015 WSUD and IECA Conference

The 9th International Water Sensitive Urban Design Conference and 3rd International Erosion Control Association National Conference will be held from Monday, 19th to Friday, 23rd October, 2015 at Dockside, Cockle Bay Wharf, Sydney, Australia.

The theme for this year’s Conference is ‘Holistic Integration: Concept, Design, Construction and Operation’. This year’s Conference will explore more effective ways of managing and integrating stormwater, from the concept and design, through to construction and into operation.

This Conference effectively unites three organisations that are all in the business of managing stormwater quality and quantity at various stages of development. Importantly, it adds the construction-phase into the conversation on designing and managing Water Sensitive Urban Design. With better integration of stormwater management at ALL stages, we will hopefully see an end to operational water quality advances being effectively undone by excess pollution during the construction stage.

This year’s Conference is sure to be a thought-provoking event that will challenge delegates’ thinking and knowledge while expanding their views on holistic water management.

We invite all stormwater professionals to submit an abstract for consideration in the 2015 Conference program.

CALL FOR CONFERENCE ABSTRACTS

The Conference Committee would like to invite academics, stormwater practitioners and related stakeholders to submit abstracts on topics related to the stormwater discipline.

We are particularly seeking submissions that encourage debate and will allow participants to explore new ideas that challenge existing paradigms and engage participants in collaborative discussion.
