IAMES2018 focuses on Integrated Assessment Modeling (IAM), a scientific approach aimed at appraising environmental policies. It is a participative and iterative process in which scientists from different disciplines, policy makers and other stakeholders work together to merge knowledge from multiple domains (engineering, chemistry, physics, social and life sciences, economics, …) into a single framework, generating structured information useful for policy making.

In the world of today society places heavy demands on the environment in general and water resources in particular. Waterways support a range of services including agriculture from irrigation, ecosystems, transport, local communities, and social amenities. Climate change interferes with the supply of water, so regulation of the water level to balance irrigation and environmental needs and keep the rivers navigable is of increasing importance.
