AB  - Water resources including quantity and quality, water-related extremes such as floods and droughts, and the nexus of water with food, energy, infrastructures, lifelines, health, ecosystems, socioeconomics, and diplomacy, remain among the most urgent societal challenges. From climate change (Figure 1) and population movement to sociopolitical upheavals and economic progress, water remains central to our shared future. However, our knowledge of processes impacting and impacted by water remains incomplete, which leads to cascading uncertainties in scientific understanding of global challenges and becomes a barrier to generating actionable insights. Notwithstanding this urgency and significance, the description of best practices in water in the research literature remains fragmented and unwieldy, with limited integration across disciplinary fields and limited understanding or use of modern technologies. Yet there is hope. Our aspiration as the editors of Frontiers in Water has been to develop an open-access strategy to develop knowledge across water-related disciplines. To explore where we need to be as a field, we have invited a few rising stars who are boldly and creatively leading the way into the future by contributing articles that may provide a glimpse of the future. This brings us to a discussion of the 10 articles—from authors based in South and North America, Asia, and Europe—which together comprise this Frontiers in Water Rising Stars 2021 collection.
