Lakes & Reservoirs: Science, Policy and Management for Sustainable Use (LRSPMSU)

Lakes & Reservoirs: Science, Policy and Management for Sustainable Use is a quarterly peer-reviewed journal that serves as an authoritative forum for research on the science and management of inland freshwater ecosystems. Established in 1995, the journal addresses the complex challenges facing natural lakes and artificial reservoirs worldwide by publishing original research, case studies, reviews, and policy analyses that contribute to environmentally sound management, conservation, and sustainable use of these critical water resources. It integrates natural and social science perspectives, covering topics such as limnological processes, water quality and nutrient dynamics, aquatic biodiversity, invasive species, ecosystem responses to climate change, watershed land-use effects, governance frameworks, and sustainable water resource policies. The journal’s interdisciplinary approach ensures that ecological insights are connected with practical management and policy strategies to respond to human demands for water, food, energy, and recreation while maintaining ecosystem integrity. Contributors include ecologists, hydrologists, environmental engineers, economists, and practitioners whose work advances understanding of freshwater system dynamics and informs decisions at local, regional, and global levels. Through its emphasis on sustainable solutions, the journal supports the development of balanced approaches that reconcile environmental protection with socio-economic needs, making it valuable for researchers, environmental managers, and policymakers focused on the future of lakes and reservoirs in a changing world.
