About the Journal
Welcome to JWEAM
The Journal of Water Engineering and Management (ISSN 2582-6298) publishes high-quality original research that offers novel insights and practical relevance to the international scientific and professional community. The journal focuses on the integrated application of science, economics, engineering, management, and policy in the field of water engineering and management. The Journal of Water Engineering and Management uniquely bridges engineering innovation, management practice, and policy relevance by publishing replication-ready, applied research aimed at solving real-world water challenges, particularly in agriculture, irrigation, and resource-constrained environments.
Publication Frequency
The Journal of Water Engineering and Management (JWEAM) is published three times a year, with issues scheduled for April, August, and December, maintaining an approximately four-month publication cycle.
While the journal endeavours to maintain this publication schedule, the release of an issue may occasionally be delayed due to the completion of peer review, revision, editorial assessment, and production processes. JWEAM gives priority to the quality and integrity of peer review and does not compromise editorial standards solely to meet a scheduled publication date.
The journal encourages manuscripts that not only advance theory and methodology but also clearly discuss practical implications and provide replicable strategies for sustainable management of precious water resources.
The journal welcomes original research articles, review papers, and case studies in (but not limited to) the following areas:
Watershed management approaches for water resources planning
Flood forecasting, modeling, and routing
Irrigation, drainage, and salinity management in cultivated areas
Reuse and recycling of treated wastewater
Groundwater management for agricultural sustainability
Applications of nanoscience and nanotechnology in water purification systems
Energy-efficient irrigation and water delivery systems
Management of agricultural water resources
Environmental remediation and management
Institutional and policy frameworks for urban and agricultural water management
Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data-driven approaches in water resources, hydrology, hydraulics, irrigation, groundwater, water quality, and water infrastructure management.
The journal particularly values contributions that bridge research and practice, support evidence-based policymaking, and promote scalable, data-driven, and climate-resilient water management solutions.
Editor-in-Chief
Prof. Ajai Singh
Prof. Ajai Singh is a Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the Central University of Jharkhand, Ranchi. He has made distinguished contributions in the fields of soil and water conservation, hydrological modelling, and water resources management, with a strong focus on sustainable and climate-resilient water systems. His research integrates field experimentation with advanced modelling and data-driven tools, including SWAT, ANN, and SWMM, to support sustainable water planning, watershed management, and the design of efficient micro-irrigation systems. He has authored over 63 research papers in reputed national and international journals and has successfully guided more than 55 M.Tech dissertations, while currently supervising several Ph.D. scholars.
Prof. Singh has also developed an electronic wetting front detector to improve irrigation scheduling and enhance water-use efficiency at the field scale. As the Nodal Officer of the State-Specific Action Plan for Water (Jharkhand–2050) under the National Water Mission, Government of India, he plays a pivotal role in translating scientific research into actionable policy and planning frameworks. Prof. Singh continues to advance integrated and sustainable water resource management, combining scientific rigor with a strong commitment to addressing regional and national water challenges in India and beyond.
