Special Issue focuses on Source-to-Sea

Water International, official journal of the International Water Resources Association, studies sustainability management of water resources around the world.

Their latest issue examines different applications of the concept to improve environmental health of freshwater, land, and coastal and marine systems, drawing upon research performed across Europe, Africa and Asia. This path setting work has been produced by the International Water Resources Association (IWRA) in collaboration with members of the Action Platform for Source-to-Sea Management, including the Stockholm International Water Institute, UNESCO Intergovernmental Hydrological Programme, Xiamen University and the Global Water Institute at the University of New South Wales.
