Journal of Water Resource Engineering and Management

Journal of Water Resource Engineering and Management [2349-4336(e)] is a peer-reviewed hybrid open-access journal launched in 2014 that aims to cover the latest developments in the field of Water Resource Engineering. The Journal welcomes emerging methodologies and techniques which have the potential for real-world Applications.

• Hydrology and hydrological modelling: rainfall–runoff processes, catchment water balance, evapotranspiration estimation, snowmelt and glacial hydrology, hydrological model calibration and uncertainty, remote sensing and GIS in hydrology, and streamflow forecasting.
• River engineering and surface water systems: open channel hydraulics, computational river hydraulics, sediment transport and morphodynamics, river training and bank protection, reservoir sedimentation, lake and wetland hydrodynamics, and large river and inter-basin transfer systems.
• Groundwater hydrology and management: aquifer characterisation and parameter estimation, groundwater flow and transport modelling, recharge assessment and managed aquifer recharge, saltwater intrusion, groundwater–surface water interaction, and sustainable yield and abstraction management.
• Hydraulic structures and hydropower: dams, barrages, and spillway design, weirs and control structures, canal and conveyance systems, pumping stations, hydropower scheme design and operation, and hydraulic transients in pressurised systems.
• Flood and drought management: flood modelling and inundation mapping, flood risk assessment and mitigation measures, early warning systems, drought characterisation and indices, and infrastructure resilience to hydrological extremes.
• Irrigation and drainage engineering: irrigation system design and scheduling, water use efficiency and conveyance losses, micro-irrigation technologies, agricultural drainage and salinity control, soil–water–plant relations, and the water–energy–food nexus.
• Water supply and distribution: demand forecasting, distribution network design, analysis, and optimisation, leakage detection and non-revenue water reduction, pressure management, storage and pumping operation, and rural and decentralised supply systems.
• Water and wastewater treatment: drinking water treatment processes, biological treatment including activated sludge, sequencing batch reactors, membrane bioreactors, and biofilm systems, anaerobic treatment and UASB reactors, physicochemical processes including filtration, coagulation, and membrane separation, disinfection technologies, sludge handling and biosolids management, and nature-based and decentralised solutions including constructed wetlands and waste stabilisation ponds.
• Water quality and pollution control: contaminant fate and transport in surface and groundwater, emerging contaminants, eutrophication and nutrient dynamics, water quality monitoring and modelling, aquatic ecosystem health, and environmental flow requirements.
• Stormwater and urban water systems: urban drainage design, combined sewer overflow management, sustainable drainage systems and low-impact development, rainwater harvesting, stormwater quality treatment, and integrated urban water management.
• Water resources planning and management: integrated water resources management, allocation and water rights, reservoir operation and system optimisation, water economics and pricing, institutional and governance frameworks, transboundary water issues, climate change adaptation strategies, and decision support systems for water planning.
