Environmental Law Journal becomes part of Scielo Chile
The publication edited by the Environmental Law Center will be part of an open access collection of Chilean scientific journals in all areas of knowledge.
The Environmental Law Journal, edited by the Environmental Law Center of the Law School of the University of Chile, was admitted to be part of the SciELO - Chile Scientific Electronic Library.
SciELO - Chile is an open access collection of texts from Chilean scientific journals, from all areas of knowledge, which predominantly publish articles resulting from scientific research, and which uses peer review of the manuscripts they receive, which show a growing performance in the indicators of compliance with the indexing criteria.
"We are very pleased with this recognition, which is the result of an effort of continuous improvement of the editorial processes developed by the editorial team, which has resulted in the growing increase in the quality of the articles published over the years," said the director of the Journal, Prof. Valentina Durán Medina, adding "we are grateful for the support of the Faculty, which through its Dean, Prof. Pablo Ruiz-Tagle, and the Journals Program of the Research Department, headed by Prof. Daniel Álvarez, has provided permanent support to the work of the journal."
"Once the collaboration agreement between the Faculty of Law of the University of Chile and the National Agency for Research and Development (ANID) is signed, the full incorporation of the journal to this collection will take place, starting in 2022" explained the editor Jorge Ossandón Rosales.
This good news is in addition to the admission, in 2020, of the Environmental Law Journal to the SCOPUS database.
As a result, in 2022 the Environmental Law Journal will already be indexed in Scopus, Redib, DOAJ and Latindex, in addition to ScIELO, with the support of SISIB and the Journals Program of the Research Department of the Law School of the Universidad of Chile.
It should be noted that Issue 16 of this biannual journal will be published on December 31.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the Italian legislation in the field of integrated river basin management, paying particular attention to its institutional aspects and planning tools, mainly to the river basin management plan. In Italy, the integrated river basin management took its first steps through Law 183, of 1989, on soil defense, which divided the national territory into multiple areas, each with a newly established basin authority. The subsequent series of different regulatory measures, among which also the European Water Framework Directive (Directive 2000/60/CE), illustrates the strain, which occurs in this sector, between the general and the particular. This arises firstly in the territorial definition of the hydrographic basin and in the allocation of powers between different bodies operating in the identified area. The Italian experience suggests that the creation of excessively fragmented management units can generate hindrances in water governance, especially in the process of gathering and managing information on the availability and use of water resources at the national level. On the other hand, this paper aims at highlighting the need for legal tools that link basin plans with other measures, both of general and particular scope. In Italy, the Law 36/1994 and subsequent acts, in particular the Legislative Decree 152/2006, currently in force, have introduced relevant changes to the initial river basin management design, which have had an impact, among other things, on the coordination between the different planning tools and between the river basin plan and more specific administrative acts, especially concessions for the use of water resources.Keywords:
