This Institute was created on March 22, 2007 (World Water Day), with the union of two research groups of the School of Civil Engineering of the Universidad de Cantabria, which had been carrying out an intense scientific-technical activity on issues related to the engineering of inland and coastal waters for more than 25 years.<\/p>\n
