IWMI Successfully Operated an Exhibition Booth at the 2026 Korea Water Resources Association Annual Conference

○ Participation in the 2026 Korea Water Resources Association Annual Conference

• Date: May 20 (Wed) – May 22 (Fri), 2026 • Venue: Busan Port International Exhibition & Convention Center • Purpose of Participation: To introduce IWMI’s integrated watershed management technologies, agricultural water management solutions, real-time monitoring instruments, and the development direction of the CROP Platform

The Integrated Watershed Management Institute (IWMI) participated in the 2026 Korea Water Resources Association Annual Conference and successfully operated an exhibition booth. This year, IWMI focused on booth operation without a separate academic presentation, introducing its integrated watershed management technologies and field-oriented water management solutions to visitors.

At the exhibition, IWMI presented its key technologies, including the automatic irrigation gate system for agricultural water management, real-time watershed monitoring instruments, integrated monitoring technologies based on water level, flow, and water quality data, and water management services using climate prediction and satellite data. In particular, many visitors showed strong interest in IWMI’s smart water management technologies, which enable data-based monitoring and management of agricultural water supply and use in the field.

IWMI also received significant attention for its ongoing development of the CROP Platform. The CROP Platform is an integrated system designed to support sustainable water management decision-making by connecting climate information, satellite data, field monitoring data, watershed modeling, and agricultural water management technologies. Through this platform, IWMI aims to strengthen its core technologies for responding to drought and flood risks caused by climate change, improving agricultural water-use efficiency, advancing watershed-level water management, and expanding overseas water management projects.

During the conference, many stakeholders from industry, academia, research institutes, and public organizations visited the IWMI booth. Meaningful discussions were held on smart agricultural water management, real-time monitoring applications, climate prediction-based water management, and potential collaboration opportunities for overseas projects.

IWMI would like to express its sincere appreciation to everyone who visited our booth. We will continue to contribute to sustainable water management and climate change response through practical green technologies and integrated watershed management solutions.
