National Hydraulic Engineering Conference

For more than 20 years, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has led the coordination of opportunities for collaboration, technology deployment, and best practice information sharing among transportation hydraulic engineers and practitioners. In recent years, FHWA has partnered with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Technical Committee on Hydrology and Hydraulics (TCHH) and the Transportation Research Board (TRB) AFB60 Subcommittee to coordinate the opportunities. These coordinated opportunities have improved the state of the practice of transportation hydraulic engineers and practitioners. OBJECTIVES: The next National Hydraulic Engineering Conference is proposed for Summer 2024, with subsequent conferences tentatively planned for 2026 and 2028. The objectives of this study are: 1) Provide opportunities for communication and information sharing among state hydraulic engineers, federal agencies, and national technical organizations (AASHTO TCHH and TRB AFB60) through the National Hydraulic Engineering Conference. 2) Provide a technology and knowledge exchange forum to enhance the practical knowledge of member states concerning transportation hydraulic engineering, including advanced modeling technologies, FHWA initiatives, and best practices.
