Dear all, It is my honour to welcome Young Irrigation Professionals from all around the world to look forward to having an energetic, productive and beneficial forum. Young professionals today are full of hope for humanity and therefore are pillars of a healthy society in future.   As a developing group in ICID family, winning the “Best Performing Work body Award” becomes our long-term goal and hence need your wholehearted support and contributions. I believe, if water becomes the cause of war or crisis in the future, we are the messengers of peace and harmony! I look forward to your support and contributions. Sincerely Yours, Yaser Barghi Chairman, WG-YPF
