ICID has been organizing the International Congress on Irrigation and Drainage, its triennial event, since 1951. The 23rd ICID Congress, concurrently held with the 68th International Executive Council Meeting, drew a large number of participants. Over 830 delegates from 35 countries represented governments, academic institutions, research institutions, products and services companies, and international donor and funding institutions.
ICID is a leading scientific, technical, and non-governmental organization. It aims to stimulate and promote the development and application of engineering, agriculture, economics, and ecological and social sciences in managing water and land resources for irrigation, drainage, and flood management to achieve sustainable agriculture water management. It has been facilitating the sharing of experiences and transfer of water management technology through its network of professionals in 76 countries. Its membership, which includes the Philippines, covers over 95 percent of the irrigated areas of the world.
