About the Journal
LIMNOTEK Perairan Darat Tropis di Indonesia (LIMNOTEK) is a peer-reviewed bi-annual scientific journal published by the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) in collaboration with the Indonesian Society of Limnology (MLI).
The journal focuses on advancing scientific understanding of limnology and inland water sciences in tropical regions, with particular relevance to Indonesia and comparable environments. It publishes original research articles and reviews addressing the physical, chemical, biological, and ecological processes of lakes, reservoirs, rivers, wetlands, and other inland aquatic ecosystems, as well as their sustainable management.
To enhance international visibility and accessibility, the journal introduces an English parallel title, Journal of Limnology and Water Resources. The official journal title, scope, and ISSN remain unchanged.
LIMNOTEK promotes interdisciplinary and applied research integrating limnology, hydrology, meteorology, ecology, ecological economics, and social environmental sciences, particularly in relation to inland water ecosystems and water resource sustainability in tropical regions.
Current Issue
Vol. 29 No. 1 (2023)
Demand for clean water has rapidly increased over the decade. This decade has been declared as the decade of water, which reflects the imperative of sustainable water and aquatic system management. Limnotek: Perairan darat tropis di Indonesia, one of the leading journals in Indonesia concerning the challenges over sustainable aquatic ecosystems, is answering the call by transforming to a global Journal entitled Journal of Limnology and Water Resources. This transformation is aimed to expand the communication among global scientific communities and stakeholders by highlighting further interdisciplinary issues related to both limnology and water resources sciences.
Although there has been a year's delay in our publication due to managerial issues and the transformation of the umbrella institution (BRIN), we are sincerely grateful that we can continue our new and polished publication this year. This current issue comprises critical topics such as the use of biotas to overcome the challenges of the reduction of polluted waters, the threat and potential control of alien invasive species, and research to aid the mitigation of hydroclimatic disasters.
Our continuing hard work can bring the journal to global acknowledgment as well as provide a better communication platform among the readers. Last but not least, this small step can lead to sustainable water and aquatic ecosystem management. We learn, we live, and we grow!
