"Water is the origin of everything" - this quote from the Greek philosopher Thales of Milet (624-546 A.D.) is still valid in our times. Various human activities affect the water cycle, and adverse environmental impacts have to be faced. The main objectives of the Symposium focuses on the central role of Ecohydraulics to analyze the interrelationship between water and the environment, the assessment of human induced environmental impact and the development of water management strategies harmonizing economic as well as ecological requirements.

This Symposium in Vienna will be a perfect event for scientists, engineers, decision makers and exhibitors to exchange information and discuss the newest developments, measures, methods and equipment in the field of Ecohydraulics aiming at maintaining and improving the aquatic environment.

Water is a heritage which must be protected, defended and treated as such.
Come and join us in the beautiful city of Vienna, the heart of Europe, at the 9th ISE.

"Together towards the protection of water resources".
