IIHR—Hydroscience and Engineering’s James Street Laboratory provides 17,000 square feet for the construction of large hydraulic models.

IIHR's international reputation in perfecting the design and construction of physical modeling for applied hydraulic research has supported clients from London, New York City, Washington, D.C., Abu Dhabi, and major hydroelectric public utilities.

Tour attendees will explore the capabilities of this impressive space through a working model of the Newtown Creek wastewater management system. Located in Brooklyn, New York, Newtown Creek frequently experiences flooding from wastewater backups even during light rainfall. IIHR is leading efforts to design a new system that addresses these challenges.

Join us on this tour to learn more about the project and see the model in action.
