Mission

IWM functions as a center of excellence and research in the fields of Land & Water Environment, Climate, ICT-Solutions,It provides intelligent solutions and professional services to enhance the quality of planning, design, implementation, and monitoring by applying state-of-the-art technology.

Evolution of IWM

The journey of IWM is experience and knowledge based, from a project to a an independent Trust.

History

SWSMP-I (1986-89)

During the period of 1986 to 1989, the first phase of the Sustainable Water Supply and Management Project (SWSMP-1) commenced, focusing on one-dimensional river modeling. This marked the initial steps towards utilizing modeling techniques for water resource management. As the project progressed, a data processing component was developed to support water modeling activities, enabling more efficient analysis and decision-making processes.

SWSMP-II (1990-93)

During the period of 1990-1993, as part of the SWSMP-II project, 1-dimensional morphological and salinity model activities were added, expanding the capabilities of water modeling. Alongside this, significant progress was made in software tools development and the introduction of digital survey techniques. These advancements greatly enhanced the accuracy and efficiency of data collection, analysis, and modeling processes.

SWSMP-III (1994-96)

Building upon the success of SWSMP-II, the project further evolved into SWSMP-III during the years 1994-1996. In this phase, a major milestone was achieved with the incorporation of 2-dimensional water modeling, enabling a more comprehensive understanding of river dynamics, flood forecasting, and water resource management. The introduction of advanced digital technologies further empowered researchers and professionals in effectively assessing and managing the complex interactions between water, sedimentation, and salinity. Advanced Digital Survey and GIS integration was a major new development.

SWMC TRUST (1997-2001)

Subsequently, during the period of 1997 to 2001, the SWMC Trust (Sustainable Water Management Center Trust) was established under the Trust Act. This marked a significant milestone in the journey towards sustainable water resource management. Under the umbrella of SWMC Trust, major technical developments took place, including advancements in two-dimensional morphology and wave simulation models. These innovations enabled a more comprehensive understanding of river behavior and wave interactions, enhancing flood forecasting and water management capabilities.

Additionally, the concept of command area development and Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) gained prominence, emphasizing the holistic approach to water resource management. Furthermore, during this period, SWMC Trust embraced advanced ICT (Information and Communication Technology) solutions. This included the development of databases, Management Information Systems (MIS), and Decision Support Systems (DSS).

These technology-driven solutions played a pivotal role in improving data handling, analysis, and decision-making processes, enabling more efficient and informed water resource management practices. For digital data capture, Total Station, RTK and ADCP were introduced.
The journey of IWM started on December 1996, with the decision of the Cabinet Division of Honourable Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

IWM TRUST (2002-To Date)

In 2002, SWMC was renamed to IWM (Institute of Water Modeling), marking a significant milestone in its journey. Since then, IWM has experienced a rapid expansion of its capacity across various sectors. IWM's expertise covers a wide range of areas, including:
In Urban Water Resources Management - IWM plays a crucial role in developing sustainable solutions for managing water resources in urban areas. By addressing challenges related to water supply, sanitation, drainage, and climate change resilience, IWM contributes to creating livable and resilient cities.
In Water Infrastructure Design and Management - IWM's capabilities extend to the design and management of water infrastructure, including dams, reservoirs, water supply systems, and flood control structures. Through advanced modeling and analysis, IWM assists in optimizing the design, operation, and maintenance of such infrastructure.
IWM started Smart Data Capturing using LiDAR, Photogrammetry using TLS, Drone, ADCP, RTK. These enable accurate and detailed data collection for various applications such as terrain modeling, flood mapping, and land resource assessment.
It started Development of Smart ICT-Based Solutions. IWM takes advantage of the latest ICT to develop smart solutions for water, land and agriculture management. This includes the development of intelligent systems, data analytics platforms, and visualization tools to support informed decision-making and efficient resource management. Through its expansion and the integration of advanced technologies, IWM remains at the forefront of driving innovation and sustainable development in many sectors.

Board of Trustees

IWM operates under the guidance of a 15-member Board of Trustees (BoT) that provides strategic and policy guidance for the institute. The Chairperson of the BoT is the Honourable Secretary of the Ministry of Water Resources. This ensures close coordination and collaboration between IWM and the Ministry. To manage the day-to-day operations of IWM, the BoT employs an Executive Director (ED).

The Executive Director is responsible for overseeing and running the institute, ensuring the efficient functioning of all activities. The ED works closely with the Board of Trustees to implement strategic decisions, policies, and plans.

This governance structure ensures the effective management and leadership of IWM, enabling the institute to fulfill its mission and achieve its goals in its field of works. Among the Trustees, most of them are GoB organization heads, which become the strength of IWM to work with the GoB closely.

President of Institute of Engineers, Bangladesh is also a member of BOT. The Executive Director of IWM is also a member of the BOT and its Member Secretary. Further, a Representative from Danish Embassy is part of BOT as an observer. Also one IWM staff representative attend in BOT meetings as another Observer.
