Instituto Superior Técnico, IST (www.ist.utl.pt), belongs to the Technical University of Lisbon. The mission of IST is to contribute to the development of society by promoting a higher education of outstanding quality in the areas of Engineering, Science & Technology at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and the Research & Development activities essential to ensure the highest standard of education. With a faculty of nearly 1,000 Lecturers, in 1997 IST provided 16 undergraduate programmes (5 -years degree) to about 8,250 students, 22 master programmes to about 1,000 students. In addition, a range of research & development (R&D) activities, mainly under European contracts, have been performed in recent years.

CEHIDRO - Centro de Estudos de Hidrossistemas (www.civil.ist.utl.pt/cehidro) - is a research Centre of IST devoted to basic and applied research on the areas of hydraulics, water resources and environment. The activities of the CEHIDRO are directed towards several objectives and needs with relevant importance for the society: [1] hydraulic and hydrologic security; [2] support to the design and management of hydrosystems; [3] water resources and society challenges; [4] hydraulics and water resources for an improved environmental quality.
