🌍 Download for FREE the latest issue of Hydrolink Magazine Issue 5, 2025 on Research and Technical Innovation for Water Sustainability

We're pleased to share the latest edition of Hydrolink, the flagship magazine from the International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR). In hydraulic and hydrologic engineering, innovation is rooted in research. Scientific work improves understanding of water flows and their interactions with natural systems and built infrastructure; water-cycle dynamics, including floods, droughts, and other extremes; exchanges between surface water and groundwater; and water quality and chemistry.

🔎 Innovation begins when this knowledge is translated into methods, technologies, and operating practices that can solve real-world water problems. This issue of Hydrolink brings together examples of research and technical development that illustrate this broader view of innovation.

Highlights include:
• The use of remote sensing for water-resource assessment
• Advances in ocean outfall design and operation
• Vortex-flow technologies for wastewater treatment and energy dissipation
• The emerging role of artificial intelligence, digital twins, and hydroinformatics in adaptive water management

Whether you’re working in water engineering, policy, research, or technological innovation, this issue offers practical insights and global perspectives on translating science into real-world solutions.

Huge thanks to our Editor Angelos Findikakis and to all authors and contributors!
