Dear list members,
Among the topics of the meeting of the Joint Committee on Urban Drainage
on last Sunday in Prague were the elections for the JC.
As their maximum possible term of service according to the Statutes of
the JCUD
is going to expire (end of this week) for
Elizabeth Fassman-Beck, Fumiyuki Nakayima and myself, we voted for
new members of the JCUD. We congratulate the new members
Juan Pablo Rodríguez (Colombia)
Manfred Kleidorfer (Austria)
Takashi Sakakibara (Japan)
Already some time ago, as the new chair of the JC, Jeroen Langeveld
(Netherlands)
has been elected.
Jiri Marsalek, having been (non-voting) secretary of the JCUD for the
last 24 years, has stepped down
from this position. We are all very thankful for him for having been
active as Secretary
ofthe JC for so many years!
Many thanks also to the existing, future and past members of the JC for
their service.
In summary, the Joint Committee on Urban Drainage will (from the end of
the ICUD conference onwards)
consist of:
Jeroen Langeveld (Netherlands) (Chair)
Karsten Arnbjerg-Nielsen (Denmark)
Vojtech Bares (Czech Republic)
Jia Haifeng (China)
Manfred Kleidorfer (Austria)
Lian Lundy (UK)
David McCarthy (Australia)
Tone Muthanna (Norway)
Patrizia Piro (Italy)
Juan Pablo Rodríguez Sanchez (Colombia)
Annette Semadeni-Davies (New Zealand)
Takashi Sakakibara (Japan)
Kevin Winter (South Africa)
All best wishes to the new commmittee, serving the urban drainage
community throughout the world.
Several awards will be conveyed tonight during the Gala Dinner of the
14th International
Conference on Urban Drainage in Prague. These include:
- JC Career Award

Karsten Arnbjerg Nielsen from DTU Denmark)
The three finalists for the Poul Harremoes Award are (in alphabetical
