Discover the IAHR Water Monographs Series
This series presents information on physical processes, measurement techniques, theoretical material, numerical modeling techniques, engineering applications, and historical and cultural matters in an appealing readable and well-illustrated manner.
IAHR publishing tradition | Since 1984 supporting influential books
A long-established brand
Directly or in partnership with professional houses, IAHR has published the most renown books in the field of hydraulics, ie Turbulence Models and their Application in Hydraulics” by W Rodi, first published in 1984 by Balkema and I Nezu's book "Turbulence in Open Channel Flows and long-lasting books as Hydraulicians in Europe and Hydraulicians in USA by W. Hager
A further step
An important function of any large international organisation is to disseminate the best elements of its discipline through learned works, specialised research publications and state of the art reviews.
IAHR is particularly well-served in this regard by its flagship journals and by the extensive and wide body of substantive historical and reflective books that have been published through its auspices over the years.
This series is aimed to disseminate reference research work and state-of-the-art knowledge for researchers and practitioners in the many aspects of hydro-environmental engineering and research. OPEN and easily accessible.
Mission
The IAHR Water Monograph Series highlights cutting-edge advancements in water science and engineering as part of IAHR's commitment to future-oriented initiatives.

OPEN ACCESS is a concept derived from the movement OPEN SCIENCE supported by worldwide organizations making recommendations to Scholarly Societies: UNESCO, ICSU, EUROPEAN COMMISSION and PLAN S
Editorial process
To keep the workflow simple and efficient, authors are asked to follow these key stages:
Brief proposal submission – Send a short proposal for approval (1–2 pages outlining objectives, scope, and contributors) to publications@iahr.org.
Draft manuscript (around 50-150 pages) – It must include a Preface, a potential image for the cover (400 dpi), a Table of Contents, References in Chicago format; all figures/images included must be used with permission.
The main responsability of authors is to focus on creating a clear and consistent manuscript, ensuring proper units and equations; final formatting and typesetting will be managed by IAHR; nevertheless, these templates can be used like a guide. LaTeX | Word
As a reference, authors are expected to submit the draft manuscript within 6 months after the proposal has been approved.Review – The draft will undergo peer review, with feedback provided within 2 months.
Revised manuscript – Authors return the corrected version within 2 weeks.
Production stages (IAHR)
Once the revised manuscript is accepted:
Design, typesetting, and proofreading (approx. 3 weeks).
Final publication and dissemination (Open Access, promoted through IAHR channels).
Authors Publication Cost (APCs) and Open Access
IAHR Water Monographs are published Open Access, meaning they are freely available for anyone to read and download worldwide. This ensures maximum visibility and impact for your Committee’s work.
To sustain this model, a production cost of €3,000 applies. This covers production, indexing, and promotion. APCs are typically covered by a sponsoring company, institution, or funding agency, which in return benefits from the visibility and impact of Open Access; authors are therefore encouraged to approach their institution or funding body to explore potential support.
If you wish to publish with us please contact the IAHR Publications Manager.
Dissemination
IAHR Water Monographs are disseminated to IAHR audience (34K contacts) | Authors gain the chance to host a dedicated webinar showcasing their work | The IAHR Water Monograph Series is aimed at acceptance in the Scopus Book Index and the Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB).
