Celebrating Award-Winning Papers in 2025

We’re proud to announce that papers published in Water Management have won prestigious awards from the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE)!

Each year, outstanding research from across all ICE Publishing journals is recognised, with additional awards dedicated to specific subject areas within each journal.

The ICE Awards Ceremony will take place at ICE’s headquarters at One Great George Street, London on Thursday 3 July 2025. ICE President Professor Jim Hall will present awards to the top papers published in Water Management in 2024. These selections were made by the journal’s editorial panel and finalised by an awards committee chaired by Professor Tim Broyd.

Bonus: All winning papers will be free to read for a whole year —so you can dive into the best of the best!
