Байгаль орчин уур амьсгалын өөрчлөлтийн яамны харьяа Цэнгэг усны нөөц байгаль хамгаалах төв нь олон нийтэд экологийн боловсрол олгох сургалт, судалгаа явуулж эхэлсний 15 жилийн ойд зориулан “УСНЫ ШИНЖЛЭХ УХААН БА ИНЖЕНЕРЧЛЭЛ - 2026” МОНГОЛ ОРНЫ ЦЭНГЭГ УСНЫ НӨӨЦ БА БАЙГАЛЬ ОРЧНЫ ТОГТВОРТОЙ БАЙДАЛ сэдэвт эрдэм шинжилгээ, онол практикийн олон улсын хурлыг ШУТИС-ийн Барилга Архитектурын Сургуулийн Инженерийн байгууламжийн салбар болон Монголын усны инженерчэлийн мэргэжлийн холбоотой хамтран зохион байгуулж байна. Усны шинжлэх ухаан ба инженерчлэл эрдэм шинжилгээний хурал нь ус ба хүрээлэн буй орчны чиглэлийн үндэсний томоохон хурал юм. Энэ удаагийн олон улсын эрдэм шинжилгээний хурлын зорилго нь Монгол орны цэнгэг усны нөөц ба байгаль орчны тогтвортой байдлын чиглэлээр судалгаа, шинжилгээний ажлыг хийж гүйцэтгэдэг гадаадын болон дотоодын байгууллага, эрдэмтэн судлаачдын ололт, амжилт, туршлагаасаа хуваалцах, мэдлэгээ харилцан солилцох таатай боломжийг бий болгохоос гадна Монгол улсын цэнгэг ус, байгаль хамгаалалд тулгамдаж буй асуудлууд, тэдгээрийн инженерийн болон байгальд түшиглэсэн шийдлүүдийг хэлэлцэж цаашдын чиг хандлагыг тодорхойлоход оршино.
