Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
River science is a “rapidly developing interdisciplinary field at the interface of the natural sciences, engineering and socio-political sciences. It recognises that the sustainable management of contemporary rivers will increasingly require new ways of characterising them to enable engagement with the diverse range of stakeholders”.
In the Anthropocene, rivers face multiple stressors, and a holistic view of river systems is required to support the integrated management of water resources. Sustainable water management can be implemented based on abiotic and biotic monitoring.
This Special Issue aims to (i) outline the requirements for integrated water management in the 21st century and to (ii) provide examples from research (which support process understanding) and (iii) water management applications.
Dr. Martin Schletterer
