The International Journal of River Basin Management plays a specific role in promoting a cross-sectorial approach encompassing all aspects of river and floodplain management, with a truly global perspective, and available to subscribers at a reasonable price.

Launched at the Third World Water Forum in Kyoto, March 2003, with overwhelming interest, this Journal is published in four issues per year in print and electronic format, and is co-published by IAHR with IAHS and INBO.

The Journal is a response by the scientific and professional community to the World Water Vision and calls by the World Water Council and Global Water Partnership for an integrated approach to water resources management. Papers are accepted in all areas of river and floodplain management including catchments, wetlands and estuarine systems.
