CFP: Water History Conference, Delft, The Netherlands, 16-19 June 2010

  The Water History Conference of the International Water History Association in Delft, the Netherlands, will be a unique opportunity to exchange and develop new insights on the history of our most precious resource. The conference is co-organized by IWHA, Delft University of Technology and UNESCO-IHE.

Abstracts and sessions

The program committee welcomes abstracts for individual papers as well as proposals for complete sessions. Session proposals should include either 1) three papers and a commentator or 2) four papers; the inclusion of a session chair is encouraged. Proposals for double sessions will also be accepted. There are no designated topics for papers. We seek papers on all aspects of water history, from rivers to drops, from seas to mountain lakes, from technologies to cultures. However, all submissions must be “wet” in that each is related to water and of a historical nature.   

Submission process for abstracts and sessions

All abstracts, both for individual papers and those proposed for sessions, will be reviewed by the program committee. Abstracts should be submitted by the main author through the online submission system. Abstracts should not exceed 300 words. A link to the online abstract submission page can be found at the website of the conference:

Session proposals should be sent separately to the chair of the program committee. These proposals should contain session title, a 100-word description, names and affiliations of presenters and titles of their abstracts, and names and affiliations of commentator and/or chair.
