International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID)

ICID, established in 1950, is a leading scientific, technical and not-for-profit Non-Governmental Organization (NGO). Through its network of professionals spread across 80 countries, ICID has facilitated sharing of experiences and transfer of water management technology for more than six decades. ICID promotes policies and programs to enhance sustainable development of irrigated agriculture through a comprehensive water management framework.

ICID is a knowledge sharing platform dedicated to issues related to the entire spectrum of agriculture water management practices ranging from rain-fed agriculture to supplemental irrigation, land drainage, deficit irrigation to full irrigation. In addition, drainage of agricultural lands forms the core theme of our activities. Floods and drought – the two extremes of increasingly variable climate as a result of potential climate change – also form the focus of activities.

Mission

To work together towards sustainable agriculture water management through hinter-disciplinary approaches to economically viable, socially acceptable and environmentally sound irrigation, drainage and flood management。
