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

Issue number 2 of JRBM Volume 22 collects eleven high-quality articles spanning from water quality and groundwater studies to flood risk, water policy and soil erosion mapping, showing the large range of subjects and expertise needed for river management. 

In this new issue, you will find case studies proposing a combination of methods, from numerical modelling to remote sensing, that were applied to not only to address problems at the local scale, but also to support decision-makers in developing future strategies to manage water resources. As usual, examples are coming from all around the world, showing the very international and transdisciplinary characters of the Journal. 

Like the past JRBM volumes, all the manuscripts collected here are worth reading, as they report and discuss the actual state-of-art in the management of rivers and freshwater systems from a variety of viewpoints, showing best practices to be applied worldwide and open research questions that should be addressed in the future.
