Scientific and technical proposals: Urban stormwater management |
Presenting methods or results of research, with a clear link to practical operation or experience, and based on literature studies, laboratory experiments, modeling or field-based studies: innovative technical projects which include an evaluation of performance and performance against criteria, reporting; long term operational experience, comparisons of different strategies, scales and approaches (structural or non-structural); thoughts on governance and keys for change.
|
Case studies and Awards: |
|---|
Urban planning, design and architecture projects; planning and public policies, from precinct to watershed scale.

Selection
- For scientific and technical proposals -
The scientific committee, with the support of several working groups of the IWA/IAHR Joint Committee on urban drainage and of technical and scientific experts, will select the extended abstracts and divide them into oral and poster presentations. The selection will take into account the following criteria:
- Connection with the conference themes
- Innovation (approach originality, subject interest, results never presented before)
- Quality of the presented work (including literature studies for the scientific proposals)
- Experience and information transferability
- Clarity of the proposal (approach, aims, conclusions and drafting quality)
- For case studies -
The organising committee will take into account the following criteria for the case studies and Awards selection:
- Integration of stormwater management in the project and connection with the Novatech themes
- Innovation
- Transferability and potential to provide lessons for broader application
- Clarity of the proposal
The selection and distribution into oral and poster presentations will also take into account the consistency of the sessions and the time available. Authors may submit more than one proposal but will be allowed to make only one oral presentation. The paper length is not a criteria for selection.
