HYDRO 2008
HYDRO 2008 will be the 15th annual Hydro Conference to be organized by Aqua~Media International, in partnership with NetWork Events. The events have progressively increased in size
and scope, and typically bring together delegations from more than 70 countries. The majority of delegates represent owners and operators; others are consulting engineers, financial institutions,
contractors, researchers, equipment suppliers, and various specialists involved in the planning process. There is thus a constructive exchange of experience between countries at various stages
in their hydropower development programmes.
Gathering of the Hydropower Community
International Conference and Exhibition, hosted and organized by The International Journal on Hydropower & Dams and Network Events Ltd. Speakers at Hydro discuss the direct and indirect benefits of hydropower, its synergy with other renewables, ways of improving economics through prudent planning, and the use of advanced technology for design, construction and refurbishment. New approaches to financing, environmental and social issues are on the agenda.
ence, the theme of HYDRO 2007 will be ‘New Approaches for a New Era’.
This international gathering of the world hydropower community will focus on practical ways of advancing hydropower development:
* in the developing and emerging countries, where it can play a vital role in socio-economic development; and,
* in industrialized nations, where there is a huge potential to upgrade existing schemes, retrofit hydraulic works designed for other purposes, and in some countries continue to build new hydro and pumped-storage plants.
