About the Conference

Thank you for joining us at the ninth triennial International Conference on Urban Storm Drainage ? one of the foremost international meetings where engineers, scientists and managers of urban water resources exchange ideas about the urban water environment. The ninth ICUD continues the tradition begun in 1978 in Southampton, UK, exploring state-of-the-art technology and bringing together colleagues from around the world to address critical issues in the practice of urban storm drainage. No other meeting on urban water issues attracts such a diverse group of participants. Don?t miss this opportunity to exchange ideas with colleagues and leaders in the field worldwide!
