River Water Management

Rivers provide drinking and irrigation water, serve as natural transportation infrastructure, and can offer power and resources for industry. All of which is in addition to supporting ecosystems and biodiversity, as well. This makes river water management a critical part of United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6: Clean Water and Sanitation. Research on river water management can develop more efficient and effective ways to manage river water resources, deal with climate change’s impact on rivers, and more. 

This hub serves as a central platform for hand-picked research focused on river water management, drawn from across Springer Nature. It features carefully chosen research from various journals, cross-journal article collections, special issues, books, and book chapters. You’ll also find information here on how to publish your own river water management research with Springer Nature, whether in a journal, a special collection, or as a book.

As a specialist of freshwater biodiversity research, he shared his thoughts with us on the crucial role of science-based river water management and his commitment to addressing the SDG6.

Contact a publishing editor © Mitarart, iStockphotoGetting started publishing your SDG 6 work at Springer Nature is easy. Springer Nature aspires to lead in publishing SDG research, and especially in open access (OA) SDG research.

You can add impact and power to your SDG-related research when you publish it at Springer Nature, and alongside leading research (like the examples above). Research published OA at Springer Nature gets more exposure. For example, research published in fully OA Springer Nature journals are downloaded over 7,000 times on average (up to 5x more than competitors) and cited 7.39 times on average.

Publishing with Springer Nature gives you:

  • A range of journals, from Nature, Springer, and BMC, both hybrid and OA. The journals with SDG content curated above are a small selection of journals you can publish in. Clicking through on them will give you the information — including journal metrics, submission guidelines and more — that you need to plan your next submission.
  • The world’s leading scholarly book program, including the option to publish your book OA. ᐅSDG 6 OA Books
  • Support in finding funding for OA. Many funders and institutions now cover open access (OA) journal article publishing costs for affiliated researchers, as part of an OA agreement with Springer Nature. Find out more about OA agreements and whether you may be entitled to publish OA journal articles with your fees covered.
