E3S Web of Conferences is pleased to welcome to its platform the proceedings from the CFBR 2022 Symposium – Sharing water: Multi-purpose of reservoirs and innovations.

The symposium is part of CIGB-ICOLD 2022 organised by the International Commission of Large Dams/Commission Internationale des Grands Barrages (ICOLD/CIGB) and The French Committee on Dams and Reservoirs (CFBR). The event will take place in Marseille, 27 May – 3 June 2022. The symposium, organized by the CFBR, will be devoted to the multi-purpose of reservoirs and innovations in their use. The editors, Christine Noret and Laurent Peyras, believe that “We must establish a real hydrodiplomacy that is the art of building the country around this vital resource.”

Browse the open access proceedings published as 91 articles of the highest quality by E3S Web of Conferences. The articles address four important themes, namely:
