About ICID
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。
