We are pleased to inform all participants and partners that the 2nd International Symposium on Integrated Flood and Sediment Management in River Basins for Sustainable Development (FSMaRT 2024)<\/strong>\u2014previously postponed due to the severe impacts of recent typhoons\u2014has been rescheduled<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\uddd3 New Dates:<\/strong> May 11-13, 2026<\/strong>
\ud83d\udccd Venue:<\/strong> Isabela State University, Echague, Isabela, Philippines<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The postponement of the original schedule (December 15\u201318, 2024, in Cagayan de Oro City) was due to disruptions in conference logistics caused by the successive typhoons that heavily affected Northern Luzon, including Isabela State University as the event organizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to welcoming you to the symposium in May 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a guide for action, UN-SDG 6.5 states, \u201cBy 2030, integrated water resources management (IWRM) should be implemented at all levels, including through transboundary cooperation\u201d. IWRM enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of water resource management by exchanging information and collaborating with related organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2nd<\/sup> 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
