World Rivers Day (22nd September 2024) is celebrated on the fourth Sunday of every September, putting a spotlight on the natural and cultural values of our world’s waterways. It is also an initiative that emphasizes the importance of protecting rivers across the globe. You can find out more about the history of World Rivers Day here.

At Springer Nature, our SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) Working Group is marking World Rivers Day by showcasing some of our important research on rivers.

Please see some of our latest 2024 river research below 

Discover Applied Sciences:

·         Persistent organic pollutants in sediment of a tropical river: the case of N’djili River in Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of the Congo)

·         A hybrid SARIMA-Prophet model for predicting historical streamflow time-series of the Sobat River in South Sudan

·         Genetic diversity and population structure of Mastacembelus armatus in the river systems of southern China revealed by microsatellites

Discover Water:

·         Distribution, source apportionment and ecological risk assessment of heavy metals in Limbe River sediments, Atlantic Coast, Cameroon Volcanic Line

·         Addressing water security challenges through groundwater recharge for revival of Kanari River using AHP and geospatial techniques

·         Potential of ecological water treatment elements to reduce pollution of river water used for urban agriculture in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Engineering: Mathematical Modeling and Sustainable ‎Development

This Topical Collection aims to explore the intersection of mathematical modeling, sustainable development, and the challenges and solutions. Rapid technological advancements and the increasing need for sustainability have created complex problems that require innovative mathematical modeling approaches to address them. This Topical Collection welcomes high-quality research papers that demonstrate the application of mathematical modeling in various domains, including but not limited to finance and economics, data science and machine learning, artificial intelligence, cyber security, Internet of Things (IoT)‎, cryptography and information security, and biomathematics. The goal is to showcase how mathematical modeling can contribute to sustainable development by providing insights, decision support, and optimization strategies for complex systems in science and information technology.

Earth and Environmental Sciences: Crop Diversification for Resilient Ecosystem

Crop diversification is a strategic approach in agriculture that involves cultivating a range of different crops on a farm rather than relying solely on one type of crop. This practice offers numerous advantages, including reducing the risk of crop failure due to pests, diseases, or adverse weather conditions. By growing a variety of crops, farmers can also maintain soil health and fertility more effectively, as different crops have varying nutrient requirements and growth patterns. Moreover, crop diversification provides farmers with opportunities to tap into diverse markets, stabilize their income throughout the year, and contribute to environmental sustainability by promoting biodiversity and reducing reliance on chemical inputs. Overall, crop diversification is a key aspect of modern farming practices aimed at enhancing resilience, profitability, and ecological stewardship. Along with this, a resilient ecosystem is one that demonstrates the capacity to withstand and recover from disturbances while maintaining its essential functions and supporting biodiversity. These ecosystems possess several key characteristics that contribute to their resilience. Firstly, they have high levels of biodiversity, including a variety of species with different functions and niches. This diversity helps buffer against environmental changes and increases the likelihood that some species will thrive even under adverse conditions. Additionally, resilient ecosystems often exhibit strong ecological connectivity, allowing for the movement of species and genetic material across landscapes, which promotes adaptation and enhances overall resilience. They also tend to have robust feedback mechanisms and adaptive management strategies in place, enabling them to respond flexibly to disturbances and incorporate new information into their resilience strategies. Overall, resilient ecosystems play a crucial role in sustaining life on Earth by providing essential services such as clean air and water, climate regulation, and habitat for wildlife, while also supporting human well-being and livelihoods.

In this Topical Collection, we invite novel research and constrictive review works that share new insight results on the subject, as well as establish a positive discussion about the Crop Diversification for Resilient Ecosystem.

Major themes include:

- Ecosystem services for soil health management

- Biodiversity conservation for ecosystem resilience

- Sustainable soil health management through crop diversification

- Climate resilience farming for ecosystem management

- Reduced pesticide dependency through crop management

- Water quality management for enhancing nutrient use efficiency

- Crops nutritional dietary diversity

- Food security through crop management

- Economic stability through crop management

- Ecosystem services and crop risk management

- Crop diversification through building resilient ecosystems

- Water management through crop diversification

- Sustainable agriculture through

- Cultural Heritage and crops diversification

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to: SDG 2, SDG 15
