Hydraulic Structures Committee

To promote and/or advance research, analysis, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of state-of-the-art methodology associated with hydraulic structures. A hydraulic structure is defined as any civil feature that impounds (such as dams or dikes) or conveys (such as spillways, canals, levees, fish ladders, gates, locks, pipes, etc.) water.
To accomplish this purpose, the committee proposes and organizes task committees and/or subcommittees to complete projects which advance the science. The committee promotes the technical exchange of ideas through sponsored sessions at conferences, publications of reports, papers, and monographs, and interaction with other professional and technical societies.
Additionally, the committee forwards nominations for the Hydraulic Structures Medal to the EWRI Awards Committee.
