  About this Journal  

Digital Water offers both academic and practitioner readers in the water resources field a broad overview of digital transformation across the central three domains of water resources research: water uses, water-related disasters mitigation and water environment preservation. In these domains of the water sector there is a need for improved management based on information technology solutions from sensors to decision making systems. 

The central focus for submissions to Digital Water should be on methods and technologies aimed at managing both natural and artificial water systems and resources that have an immediate practical application. Although methods and models may be presented, articles should not be solely theoretical and a direct impact in practice must be evident. 

Digital Water is an Open Access Journal with no Author Publishing Charges (APC) for active IAHR members whose papers are accepted into Digital Water. This mechanism allows members to publish their work under a fully Open Access model with no author publishing fees, ensuring that research is immediately visible and freely accessible worldwide upon publication. 

  Editorial Leadership  

To ensure the highest scientific standards and rigorous peer review, Digital Water is led by two distinguished Editors-in-Chief: IAHR President, Professor Philippe Gourbesville (Université Côte d'Azur) and Professor Gabriele Freni (Università Di Enna Kore). They are supported by a diverse International Editorial Board comprising experts from institutions across the globe. 

By publishing in Digital Water, authors benefit from Taylor & Francis’s extensive global distribution network, rapid publication timelines, and high discoverability. The fully Open Access format guarantees maximum readership, helping authors comply with strict institutional or funding mandates while expanding the real-world reach of their findings.
