Hydraulic Engineering (HE)

  • Computational Hydraulics
  • Environmental Hydraulics
  • Dam Break Flow Analysis
  • Hydraulic Structures and Hydropower
  • Sediment Transport Modeling
  • Scour Processes and Modeling
  • River Modeling and Management

Environmental Engineering (EE)

  • Surface and Groundwater Pollution Modeling and Management
  • Solid and Hazardous Waste Management
  • Biological Processes and Bio-remediation
  • Water and Wastewater Treatment
  • Environmental Systems Simulation and Modeling
  • Environmental Impact Assessment
  • Atmospheric Processes and Air Pollution

Paper Submission:
Authors are encouraged to submit the papers for the session. The papers on any of the three themes can be submitted as an email attachment to Dr. Ashu Jain, Session Organizer, HEE2005 @ IICAI2005 (the address is given below). The papers should be in WORD, PDF, or PS format and should be formatted according to the Springer Lecture Notes instructions. The length of a paper should not exceed 15 pages.
