The first International Symposium on Integrated Flood and Sediment Management in River Basins for Sustainable Development (FSMaRT) took place from December 18-20, 2022, in Da Nang, Vietnam. Its success has turned it into a regular event.

Climate change has made frequent and severe floods the ‘new normal,’ causing significant damage to agriculture and infrastructure and endangering water, energy, environment, and food security. To tackle these challenges, there is an urgent need for an integrated approach utilizing science and technology tools. The FSMaRT symposium aims to be a recurring forum to share knowledge and solutions, bringing together experts and stakeholders to address the complex issues of floods and sedimentation for a resilient and sustainable future.

As a guide for action, UN-SDG 6.5 states, “By 2030, integrated water resources management (IWRM) should be implemented at all levels, including through transboundary cooperation”. IWRM enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of water resource management by exchanging information and collaborating with related organizations.

The 2^nd International Symposium on Integrated Flood and Sediment Management in River Basins for Sustainable Development (FSMaRT) intends to bring together experts, researchers, scientists, policymakers, and practitioners from around the world to exchange knowledge, share best practices, and foster collaboration in addressing the challenges of flood and sediment management in river basins.
