Invitation from President INACID for the 61st IEC and 6th ARC

President, INACID As the time is coming closer to hosting the 61st International Executive Council Meeting (IECM) and 6th Asian Regional Conference (ARC) of the International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to this very important event. We hope that this event would equip us with issues related with water and land resources development and management towards achieving sustainable development.

In my capacity as the President of INACID, I kindly extend our warmest invitation to you and your family as well as colleagues to participate in the 61st IECM and 6th ARC of ICID which will be held during 10-16 October 2010 at Sheraton Mustika Yogyakarta Resort and Spa in the heart of beautiful Java island, Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

The theme “Improvement of Irrigation and Drainage Efficiency under the Small Land Holding Condition” has been set which is very relevant to the current world food and financial situations. This condition, in the Asian region in particular, is fairly relevant for small holding agriculture farmers who are most affected by the current financial and economic depression. Therefore, it is hoped that this conference will enable the participants to discuss the ways to resolve the underlying issues and eventually to contribute something worth in improving the efficiency and productivity of small land holder irrigated and drained agricultural lands in particular and irrigation of the world in general.

We look forward to welcome all stakeholders, scientists, engineers and others who are knowledgeable in the irrigation and drainage from all over the world. We truly believe that contributing together for the development of the knowledge in this sector can lead to highly valuable conclusions of the conference.

For up to date information, please visit the conference website at <www.icid2010.org>

SEE YOU IN YOGYAKARTA.

Dr. Ir. Roestam Sjarief, MNRM
