About the congress
The 13th World Congress of the European Water Resources Association (EWRA) on Water Resources and Environment under the title “New challenges in understanding and managing water-related risks in a changing environment” will be held in Palermo, Italy, June 24th-28th, 2025 with the HYCLIC Lab of the University of Palermo as organizer.
The Congress promotes international cooperation and research exchanges in the field of environmentally sustainable water resources management. The aim of the Congress is to discuss innovation in water sciences to address current and future challenges and to assist in improving the capacity of countries to mitigate and adapt to climate change and new water related hazards.
The Congress intends to be a global forum for scientists and engineers from diverse countries and cultures, who will interact, exploring ways and strategies to face global and regional challenges on water resources and ecosystems.
A wide range of cutting-edge topics will be presented and discussed in Congress, encompassing the most crucial aspects of Water Resources Management and Environment on a global scale. Key principles behind these topics are sustainability, resilience, hydraulic and hydrological invariance, and the non-stationarity of hydro-meteorological variables and processes in a climate change context.
Submissions extended
9th February 2024 – 23:55 (Rome time, UTC+1).
