Experimental methods and techniques in hydraulic research

International School of Hydraulics (till 2003 a national event) has very long tradition and it was initiated in 1981 and took place without interruption each year. Throughout all that long 25 years period it has been successfully organized by the Institute of Hydro-Engineering of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The School has been carried out under the auspices of the Committee for Water Resources Management of the Polish Academy of Sciences and International Association of Hydraulic Engineering and Research. Starting from the 26th organization of International Events was taken over by the Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences. The XXVI School took place at Goniądz in Biebrza National Park, the XXVII at Hucisko /the Eagle's Nest/ situated in the heart of Jura Region in southern Poland, and the XXVIII one at the Podewils Castle in a small town of Krag, the largest 15th Century Knight's Castle in Pomerania. All events turned out to be a great success and gathered many researchers from various countries, among them the European leaders in the field of hydraulics. Starting from 2008 International School of Hydraulics will take palce every second year.
