The general concern about man’s impact on the environment and
the search for more environmentally friendly engineering solutions has
necessarily been reflected in civil engineering in general and hydraulic
engineering in particular. What began as the ASCE Hydraulics Division now
finds a home in the Environmental and Water Resources Institute (EWRI). The
Technical Committee, formerly titled "Environmental Hydraulics"
has recently been changed to "Eco-hydraulics" to reflect the new
mission statement and focus. This web site is intended to introduce the
committee to the hydraulic engineering community by means of a statement of
the aims and scope of the Committee, to generate discussion on this subject,
and to invite participants in its activities.
