The 75th anniversary of the International Commission for the Protection of the Rhine (ICPR) was celebrated on July 3, 2025, in Düsseldorf, where water management experts commemorated 75 years of international cooperation and discussed future challenges in protecting the Rhine river basin. The ICPR was founded on July 11, 1950, to address transboundary water pollution and has since become a model for similar organizations worldwide, with successes including the return of species like salmon to the river and significant improvements in water quality.
STARS4Water coordinator Deltares presented the project with a poster presentation entitled: “Improving realism of high-resolution hydrological modeling with anthropogenic water use: a study on the Rhine basin”. The poster is available here.
