XI Congreso Internacional de Ingeniería Hidráulica

The Hydraulic Engineering Society of UNAICC, the National Institute of Hydraulic Resources, the University of Chapingo and the Mexican Institute of Water Technology invites them to XI International Congress of Hydraulic Engineering and VII International Seminar on Integrated Water Use, we will celebrate together in Cayo Coco, central province of Ciego de Avila, from 1 to 5 October 2013.

The world is experiencing great challenges to the survival of the human species, as countries annually suffer the consequences of climate change due to human behavior irresponsible and irrational and inefficient use of natural resources, including water, an essential element for life on our planet.

Today scarce water resources in many regions. Yet they continue to waste and thereby contaminating the situation is becoming more critical and creates conflicts in many countries.

This has an impact on food production and food security in our Latin American people deserve to their socio-economic development, in a future that belongs to us all and our children and grandchildren.

It is the reason that we call on researchers, designers, teachers and all the specialists related to hydraulics and water use in its various benefits to present their work and experiences in the struggle to achieve a more rational and efficient use of this resource so vital, to ensure their current demand and food production.

Cuba gives his usual hospitality for a successful and fruitful exchange.
