We would also welcome your visit to the presentation of Karsten Thermann and Dr. W. Riemer‚ "Diversion Tunnels – Risk Management Confronting Multiple Hazards".

Complementary to the ICOLD presentations, the papers by Kristina Aldermann, “3D-FE models for stability analysis of concrete dams – challenges and solutions” and Dr. Holger Haufe, “Flood retention dams with full ecological passage – recent projects in Germany” are being published.

Christine Noret is a member of the organizing and scientific committee of the French Committee on Dams and Reservoirs (CFBR), for the organization of the ICOLD 27th World Congress and Annual Meeting in 2021 in Marseilles, France (http://cigb-icold2021.fr/en).

The strong participation of Tractebel within ICOLD provides further confirmation of the group's oustanding standard of competence and underlines Tractebel's position as a globally leading consultant for hydropower and water resources. www.icold-cigb2019.ca/
