Innovative approaches to water management challenges are needed more than ever to ensure sustainable and resilient societies worldwide. Under the overall theme "From Snow to Sea", the 39th IAHR World Congress focused on the importance of an integrated and intelligent approach to managing the whole water cycle to address the global challenges people and the environment face. The Congress highlighted IAHR's commitment to the critical role that sound understanding of the water cycle plays in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Agenda 2030.

Revision process 

The papers included in this volume were part of the 39th IAHR World Congress which took place in Granada, Spain, from 19 to 24 June 2022. Papers were selected and subjected to review by the Editor and the International Scientific Committee and followed a revision process with the following steps: (1) The committees involved in the organisation of the Congress established a set of technical criteria for the committee in charge of the revision. (2) Submitted papers were sent to one or two experts in the field. (3) Authors were asked to include the necessary amendments and follow the reviewers´ comments, and (4) Their work was reviewed until the final version was approved by the Editor.

Ethical guidelines and Code of Conduct

In addition to the technical criteria, IAHR publications follow the Ethical Guidelines and Code of Conduct provided by the Committee of Publication Ethics (COPE). A Publication Ethics and a Publication Malpractice statement are publicly available throughout the entire review process.

Besides the peer-reviewed papers, this volume contains the reports of the High-Level Panels.

The 39th IAHR World Congress proceedings are long-term preserved following the IAHR Policy of digital preservation archives. 

Committees

The International Scientific Committee (ISC) and the Advisory Board provide counsel and support to the Congress Organising Group (COG) for the scientific and technical coordination of the congress.
