RIBAGUA publishes gold open-access articles on Ibero-American issues associated with water, including novel innovation and development, published in Spanish and Portuguese.

The recent articles in RIBAGUA focus on key aspects of wastewater treatment and models to evaluate better assess te influence of discharges as well as the study of asymmetries in relation to river discharge and river tides. 

The latest published article presents the results of evaluating the change in drought patterns throughout the 21st century caused by climate change, with particular emphasis on the case of Spain.
The second article develops and applies an integrated flood risk assessment framework to support the identification and prioritisation of mitigation works in the Sula Valley, Honduras.
The third contribution focuses on the work of the Conference of Ibero-American Water Authorities and Directors (CODIA) in the fight against drought.

Together, these works exemplify RIBAGUA’s role in publishing research that blends scientific rigor, practical relevance, and innovative techniques to address contemporary water challenges in the region.
