Scope and Topics of the Journal

The International Journal of Water Sciences (IJWS) will publish original papers on all aspects of hydrology and water resources, which comprise physical, chemical, and biological processes of surface water and groundwater. The IJWS will aim to improve understanding of these processes which occur in changing climates by presenting fundamental and applied research that seeks to quantify climate change at watershed scale as well as incorporate insights about these changes into engineering and/or management practices. The IJWS will also include papers that engage multidisciplinary approaches which will develop a better understanding about water quantity and water quality with climate change as a categorical variable. The journal will present original research articles, case studies, technical notes, opinion papers, book reviews, and comments on papers previously published in the journal. Papers can discuss innovative techniques and approaches, such as rationale, new or improved methods, modeling, experiments, or instrumentation.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Arid and semi-arid hydrology
  • Hydroclimatology and hydrometeorology
  • Coastal and estuary hydrology
  • Ecohydrology
  • Hydrologic extremes
  • Frequency flow
  • Groundwater hydrology
  • Hydraulics
  • Lake and wetland hydrology
  • Risk and uncertainty
  • Soil erosion and sedimentation
  • Steppe hydrology
  • Storm water
  • Vadose hydrology
  • Water quantity and water quality
  • Watershed hydrology

Audience

The International Journal of Water Sciences is intended for academia, researchers, practitioners, planners, and policy makers in fields of hydrology, hydraulics, watershed, coastal engineering, environmental engineering, and water resources.
