7th International Conference of EWRA
"Water Resources Conservancy and Risk Reduction Under Climatic Instability"

Water Resources Management (WARM), the main journal of the European Water Resources Association (published by Springer) increases the number of issues from 12 to 15 per year as per 2009. This was decided due to the substantial increase of the number of papers submitted for publication in the journal during the last years.

The new impact factor of the journal WARM is 1.35. The IF was increased by 73%, from 0.78 in 2007 to 1.35 in 2008.

Due to the above developments and some additional factors, WARM is the fastest growing journal in the field of Water Resources.

The Editor-in-chief and the Editorial Board wish to thank the authors of the papers published in WARM, the reviewers and the Publishing Company for their assistance to make WARM a leading journal in the field of Water Resources.

The new issue of the bulletin of the European Water Resources Association "EWRA news" is now available on line.
