I just received notice from IWRA that the July 2012 issue of Water International has been published online.
Great special issue: How Hydrological Models Support Informed Decision Making in Developing Countries.
No, WI is not open access so you have to be a member of IWRA or willing to pay. The abstracts are freely available (click on 'Abstract' below each title).
