Home Information Abstract Submission Registration Venue and accomodation Committes Important dates Programme

 

The selection of papers coming from the Porto Conference to be submitted to the journals has been completed.

Finally 104 papers were selected, 33 for the journal of Water Resources Management, 33 for the journal European Water, 20 for the Water Utility journal and 18 for the journal of Environmental Processes.

The selection was made (as agreed in the GA of Porto) by Prof. R. Maia and Prof L. S. Pereira for Water Resources Management, by Prof. A. Loukas for the European Water, Prof. G. Tsakiris for the Water Utility Journal and by Prof. V. Tsihrintzis for the Environmental Processes.

Following are the lists of selected papers for the EWRA journals. The authors are invited to amend and submit their articles by 15 of November 2013 according to the Guide for Authors of each journal (information at the bottom of this page). Articles may be expanded with additional material. The title may also be modified. All articles will be reviewed once again before publication.
