Der Schutz und die Wiederherstellung ökologisch funktionsfähiger, naturnaher Gewässer ebenso wie eine bessere Hochwasserregulierung sind wesentliche Aufgaben der Wasserwirtschaft, wobei eine gesamtheitliche Betrachtungsweise erforderlich ist. Um die hydraulischen Auswirkungen einer Rückgewinnung von Retentionsräumen auf Hochwasserereignisse zu quantifizieren, wurde von Frau Dr. Minh Thu in dieser Forschungsarbeit ein hydrodynamisch-numerisches Modell für die gesamte deutsche Teilstrecke des freifließenden Rheins erstellt.

He informed that there will be two changes in the agenda items for discussion. Item 4 “The broad basing of ICID membership” will be dealt together with the item 11 ‘Report of the Permanent Finance Committee (PFC)”. And items 5 “Secretary General (2010-12)” will be dealt together with item 8 “Report of the Management Board”. He indicated that Pres. Hon. Peter Lee will present the item 13.1 “WatSave awards’, separately at an appropriate time. He mentioned that there would be a signing ceremony of a ‘Memorandum of Agreement between ICID and Iranian National Committee’ pertaining to establishment of ‘International Program in Research and Technology Transfer in Irrigation and Drainage’ in Iran during the Council meeting. President Chandra Madramootoo welcomed the delegates from Central Asia and said that the five Central Asian Republics were very active in ICID in early 1990s, their active participation diminished in the near past. He expressed his gratitude to Mr. Daryl Fields, the World Bank for providing financial support to reengage the Central Asian members, and also thanked the Central Office for facilitating their harmonization with the ICID activities once again. President Chandra emphasized that Central Asia is an important region to be actively engaged with and ICID need to work collectively and closely to improve agricultural productivity and also the socio-economic condition of the region.

Six leading research universities from Japan and Germany decided in July 2010 to establish a bi-national network in order to intensify their cooperation in research and teaching in areas of high importance for the welfare of their societies and mankind as a whole. The network members – Heidelberg University, Kyoto University, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Tohoku University, University of Göttingen and Osaka University – are institutions with common research interests, but differing profiles. By combining the complementary strengths and fields of expertise of its members and encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration, the network will enhance its research potential and create a “critical mass” for innovative solutions that can be globally applied.
