Work Team on Environmental Impacts of Reclamation Projects (1986) Renamed Working Group on Environmental Impacts of Irrigation, Drainage and Flood Control Projects (WG-ENV) (1986). WG on Environmental Impacts of Irrigation, Drainage and Flood Control Projects (1986-2008) changed its name WG on Environment (2008)
The International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID) was established on 24 June, 1950 as a Scientific, Technical and Voluntary Not-for-profit Non-Governmental International Organization (NGO) with headquarters in New Delhi, India.
The Commission is dedicated to enhancing the worldwide supply of food and fibre for all people by improving water and land management and the productivity of irrigated and drained lands through appropriate management of water, environment and application of irrigation, drainage and flood management techniques.

Irrigated agriculture has massively evolved during the 20th century; it must keep changing in coming decades. Although global food and fiber production is increasing, many intensified farming systems cause high environmental impacts and resources depletion. Yet, all recognize that irrigation has a central role to play to feed the global population expected by 2050. To meet the challenge, irrigated agriculture must further evolve, improve factors’ productivities, and decrease environmental impacts. The ICID Working Group on Environment is a cross-country forum, where environmental and sustainability issues in the irrigation and drainage sectors are discussed. Our aim is to contribute to the sector’s necessary evolution, to share information and knowledge, and to develop policy guidelines. Newly-elected office-bearers (in 2010) commit to build upon the excellent work already done. We hope to see all WG-ENV members, and all interested individuals, at the next ICID conference in Tehran in October 2011. Let’s deliver, together, towards more sustainable irrigation and drainage systems! - Dr Perret |
*Re-estd: 2015
Mandate:
- To provide guidance to policy makers, planners, designers, and managers in the irrigation and drainage sector on the following environmental aspects of irrigation and drainage systems:
(i) physical, (ii) chemical, (iii) ecological, (iv) socio-economic, and (v) cultural.
- To address concerns to the effects on local, regional and global common goods, such as climate, biodiversity and human health.
- To work towards the management of a sustainable environment, through adapted practices, adequate policies and institutions, maximizing positive and minimizing adverse effects of irrigation and drainage systems.
