The International Conference on Urban Drainage 2020 Organising Committee would like to invite you to submit an abstract for the ICUD 2020 Conference to be held from 6-11 September 2020 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, Victoria, Australia.

Melbourne is not only a great place to visit; it also has a rich history in urban drainage and the conference will strive to demonstrate some of its innovative approaches to urban water management through field tours and exciting workshops. It’s proud to host a wide spread of water-sensitive urban design (WSUD) systems, including over 15,000 raingardens. But it is not all about WSUD here in Melbourne, with many innovative integrated urban water management systems that manage storm, waste and ground waters using novel and innovated techniques.

The Organising Committee will be accepting abstracts based on the following themes:

  • Integrated urban water management
  • Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD)/Low Impact Development (LID) and SUDs
  • Source Control - Green Infrastructure
  • Source Control - Other
  • Modelling and Uncertainty
  • Urban flooding and risks
  • Sewer process and networks
  • Receiving water body/environmental impact
  • Real time control
  • Policy, regulation and society
  • Asset management
  • Water recycling, reuse and harvesting
