Programme
The scientific programme will cover the following main topics:
EWG-IE – Internal Erosion
- Internal erosion mechanisms
- Laboratory research and experiments
- Numerical modelling
- Monitoring, instrumentation and field cases
- Rehabilitation and reconstruction
- Internal erosion in tailings dams
- Further related topics
EWG-OOE – Overflow and Overtopping Erosion
- Failure mechanisms due to overtopping
- Damage and collapse of spillways during extreme floods
- Laboratory research and experiments
- Numerical modelling
- Monitoring and field cases
- Rehabilitation and reconstruction
- Other related topics
A particular focus in 2027 will be on strengthening the exchange between the hydropower and mining sectors. Bringing together experience from water-retaining and tailings dams will support the transfer of knowledge and help identify shared research and development needs.
