The International Journal of River Basin Management is pleased to announce an Article Collection on "Water Management in Remote Regions and Transboundary Basins", from papers presented at the 41st IAHR World Congress. 

This Collection aims to bring together cutting-edge research and innovative solutions to address the unique challenges of managing water resources in remote and transboundary basins. We invite contributions that explore scientific, technical, policy, and governance aspects of water management in these complex environments.

Scope and Topics

We encourage submissions covering, but not limited to, the following Sessions:

• Special session Emerging Issues for Water Management in Remote Regions with Interplay of Climate Change, Social, Economic and Environmental Factors 

• Special session Socio-economic Challenges in Asia: Future Roles of Urban Water Network Modelling and Optimization

• Special session Uniting for Water: Global Collaboration to Tackle Water Challenges 

• Special session Enhancing Water and Social Resilience in Urban Areas: A call for City Water Leaders

• Regular Session Water Resources Management

• Regular Session Cross-boundary Water Transfer

About JRBM

There is a need now more than ever to apply an integrated, cross-disciplinary approach to river basin management as recognised by the UN Watercourses Convention, World Water Vision, World Water Council and Global Water Partnership.

The International Journal of River Basin Management addresses this need. It brings together research dedicated to all aspects of integrated river and floodplain management including catchments, wetlands and estuarine systems.

IAHR Journals provide thought leadership and a platform to report on new research and exchange technical and professional knowledge on the hydro-environment. Publishing in IAHR journals provides citable, peer-reviewed credit to authors.

Since its first journal founded in 1963, the IAHR portfolio of journals has been expanded in line with the changing fields of hydro-environment engineering and water resources management, including a regional focus.

IAHR journals enjoy from the reputation of a learned society that looks after a rigorous peer-review process, selects the best editors and associate editors in their field and are published by renown international publishers Taylor and Francis and Elsevier.
