About the Institute

The important and vital role of water in human life, the large volume of water works and projects in Iran, and the extent of the water industry related sciences and technologies encouraged the University of Tehran to establish a new water related institute. In February 2000, The University of Tehran Board of Directors agreed to establish a coordination committee for water related issues. One of the first achievements of this committee was to run the 3rd National Hydraulic Conference in 2001 in collaboration with Iranian Hydraulic Association. Finally, the activities of this committee resulted in the official establishment of the University of Tehran Water Institute (UTWI) in March 2004.
