The University of Brescia is pleased to sponsor the publication of this IAHR Water Monograph, as the theme addressed, focused on the climate action of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, is well aligned with its strategic plan for education, research and social engagement.

In particular,ourProfessor Carmine Trecrociis President of the Network of Universities for Sustainable Development (RUS) promoted by the Conference of Rectors of Italian Universities for the 2025–2027 mandate.

Together with the Polytechnic University of Turin, we also host the Italian section of the United  Nations SDSN-Sustainable Development Solutions Network and have promoted the initiative “Climbing For Climate”, a demonstration initiative that we started in 2019 in which students, staff and professors every year climb a glacier to raise awareness at local, national and international level on the ongoing effects of climate change in light of the goals of the UN Agenda 2030.

In my role as Vice Rector for International Affairs and Professor of Hydraulic Engineering, I believe thatnotonlymitigationmeasuresbutalsoadaptationmeasurestoclimatechangeinthewatersector, suchasthoseaddressedinthisIAHRWaterMonograph,cancontributetothepeacefulandsustainable development of our world.

This sponsorship was made possible thanks to the "Artiļ¬cial Intelligence for water management in the Red River Delta to meet the water demand and control saline intrusion in a changing climate" Grant IG-2023-174 by Climate Change AI Innovation Grants program by Climate Change, Pittsburg, PA.
