The International Conference on Urban Drainage (ICUD) is a triennial event that has been organized by the IWA/IAHR Joint Committee on Urban Drainage (JCUD) since 1981. It is recognized as the most important international event in the field of urban drainage, and is held in different parts of the world. ICUD is an opportunity for researchers to present the latest advances and innovative approaches in fundamental and applied research on urban drainage, taking into account meteorological, hydrological, hydraulic, water quality and socio-economic aspects worldwide.

The conference is committed to advancing scientific knowledge in the field of urban drainage, and covers topics such as urban water quality, sewer sediments, source control, storm water management, combined sewer overflows, drainage in cold and alpine climates, real time control of urban drainage systems and the data and models related to urban water. It also strives to promote a sustainable and integrated urban water management.

The ICUD will be held in Delft, Netherlands at the Delft University of Technology. This event is a must-attend for those looking to stay ahead of the curve in the field of urban drainage, with the Poul Harremoes Award competition for the best urban drainage paper presented by a young author, and the JCUD Mid-Career and Career Achievement Awards for internationally recognised contributions to the field.
