Hydraulics Research Institute, Egypt – New Website

Hydraulics Research Institute (HRI) is one of twelve research institutes within the National Water Research Center (NWRC) of the Ministry of Water Resources & Irrigation (MWRI). It was established in 1975 to take over and extend the work of the Hydraulic Research & Experiment Station founded in 1949.The Institute is one of the oldest hydraulic institutes in the Middle East and Africa.

Today, HRI is considered as an important institute and focal point in the Nile basin region for cooperation and collaboration activities. This cooperation started in 1995 with the establishment of the Regional Training Centre to be a part of the Institute. In a short time the centre became well known not only within the Nile region but also further in the African Continent and Arab Peninsula. Believing in the importance of knowledge sharing, the institute is using knowledge networking, information and communication technology tools as means to transfer this experience to the Nile region and neighbouring countries.
