Cambridge Prisms: Water is an international platform for scholars, experts and practitioners to publish high-quality, high-impact OA reviews and original research for a broad audience encompassing scientists, engineers, policymakers, and non-governmental organisations. Water welcomes research from across fields relevant to water, with a focus on enhancing collaboration between academia and industry, and examining the impacts of society on water. This title aims to cover all aspects of water and hydrological sciences, plus associated technologies, specifically exploring how new research could be translated into effective implementation, by contributing to the development of novel solutions to water-related problems.
Accepted in DOAJ.
Topic map rationale
The topic map has been developed as a sequential progression starting with understanding water movements in a natural state (Natural Systems and Resources), and how variability in the quality and quantity of water can lead to anthropogenic and environmental risks (Extremes and Hazards). The uses of water across domestic, industrial, and agricultural sectors is considered together with how these may be in competition with themselves - as well as with the maintenance of environmental flows in the natural environment (Needs and Services). Meeting these diverse and sometimes conflicting demands for water through technological solutions and engineered systems in ways that are sustainable and resilient is the basis for Responses and Interventions in the physical management and distribution of water, whilst the organisational and socio-economic aspects of water management are addressed in People and Policies. Finally, the supporting tools and models that are needed in decision making processes to address all of the above are covered in Hydroinformatics.
