The 19th International Symposium on Water Management and Hydraulic Engineering (WMHE 2026)

The 19th International Symposium on Water Management and Hydraulic Engineering (WMHE 2026) continues the long-standing tradition of bringing together leading scientists, engineers, practitioners, policy-makers, and other representatives of public institutions in the fields of water management and hydraulic engineering, as well as hydrology, sanitary and environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, and related disciplines. The symposium provides a forum to present the latest research findings, share advances, exchange ideas on scientific, technical, socio-economic, legal, and educational aspects, and foster international collaboration in addressing current and future challenges.
The symposium fosters interdisciplinary dialogue and addresses global and regional challenges in sustainable water management. The WMHE series has a distinguished history. The first WMHE Symposium was held in 1984. It was originally established as a bilateral collaboration between the University of Zagreb Faculty of Civil Engineering (Croatia) and the Gdańsk University of Technology Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering (Poland). Over the years, the symposium has expanded to include additional academic partners: the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava (Slovakia), Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje (North Macedonia), the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna (Austria), and Brno University of Technology (Czech Republic).
The WMHE 2026 is organized by the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Civil Engineering, in cooperation with academic partners from Gdansk University of Technology, Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, BOKU University, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University Faculty of Civil Engineering and Brno University of Technology.
