The Journal of River Basin Management (JRBM) plays a specific role in promoting a cross-sectorial approach encompassing all aspects of river and floodplain management, with a truly global perspective. The Journal is a response by the scientific and professional community to the World Water Vision and calls for an integrated approach to water resources management.

 Overview

Welcome to the third issue of volume 20. Like the second issue, this issue is an expanded version to accommodate the demand for publication in JRBM. The 11 papers included herein bring together a diverse range of topics relevant to river basin management. Topics discussed include flood risk management, water security, virtual water and its impact on irrigation management, transboundary rivers, public perceptions of sustainable management practices, and the human and physical aspects of riverine floods. Consistent with the aim of presenting an international view of river basin management, papers are contributed by authors from North and South America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.
