Dear Readers, Reviewers, Authors, and Editors,
In our announcement of the launch of Discover Water, we emphasized the need for rapid publication and open access to introduce scholarly peer-reviewed work to the scientific community in a timely manner. This is vital in order to place state-of-the-art water research into the mainstream for discussion purposes as demand grows for the same.
To further this aim, the journal also encourages forward looking and/or speculative opinion pieces that present a balanced view of a topic. In this way, discussion is stimulated, and new approaches are explored and supported by case studies and examples of novel research. Another important aim is to support and accelerate the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal Six: Clean Water and Sanitation.
The first article is being published as you read this. In addition, several topical collections have been announced: Impacts of Large Storm events on Water Resource and Supply; The Nature-Based Solutions and Circularity Practices at Water Management; and Ecosystem Restoration through Ecosystem Based Adaptation Approach.
An excellent and diverse team of Associate Editors and Editorial Board Members has been assembled from around the world. New members are continuing to be selected to add to this esteemed group of professionals. New topical collections are being solicited from them and from our readers as a whole. Please keep us in mind for hot topics of widespread interest that you may be interested in exploring on different aspects related to water.
Sincerely,
Jim
Dr. Jim LaMoreaux
Editor in Chief Discover Water.
