Aim and Scope

Aim

The Journal of Water Engineering and Management (JWEAM) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal published three times a year, with issues scheduled for April, August, and December. The journal has been published continuously since April 2020.

The Journal of Water Engineering and Management aims to:

Disseminate original, high-quality scientific research in the field of Water Engineering and Management, encompassing theoretical, experimental, and applied studies.

Bridge the gap between research and practice by promoting publications that are relevant, implementable, and useful for industry, practitioners, planners, and policymakers.

Provide a platform for original and unpublished scholarly contributions, including theoretical developments, experimental investigations, modelling studies, methodological advances, applied case studies and critical reviews that advance sustainable water engineering and management.

The journal emphasises research with practical relevance, replicability, and real-world impact, contributing to improved water governance, engineering solutions, and management practices at local, regional, and global scales.

Scope

Journal of Water Engineering and Management (JWEAM) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal that publishes original, high-quality research addressing scientific, engineering, managerial, economic, and policy dimensions of water resources.

The journal offers a platform for research that advances theory, methodology, and practical applications in water engineering and management, with a particular emphasis on solutions that promote sustainability, resilience, efficiency, and equity in water systems.

JWEAM welcomes theoretical, experimental, modelling, methodological, and applied studies, including interdisciplinary and policy-relevant research. Submissions should clearly articulate their scientific contribution, methodological rigour, and practical or policy implications.

The journal considers manuscripts in, but not limited to, the following areas:

Hydraulics, river engineering, sediment transport, and environmental flows

Hydrological and hydrodynamic modelling

Water quality assessment, monitoring, treatment, and remediation

Water supply, distribution networks, and water infrastructure

Drought assessment, forecasting, and management

Climate-change impacts, adaptation, and resilience of water systems

Artificial intelligence, machine learning, remote sensing, GIS, and hydroinformatics for hydrological, hydraulic, groundwater, irrigation, water-quality, and water-resources applications.

Water governance, economics, allocation, policy, and integrated water resources management

Manuscripts must have a clear and substantive connection to water engineering, hydrology, hydraulics, groundwater, irrigation and drainage, water quality and treatment, water infrastructure, water-resources management, or water-related governance and policy. Studies in agriculture, environmental science, energy, artificial intelligence, IoT, materials science, or other interdisciplinary fields will be considered only where the primary research question and contribution are directly relevant to water systems or water management. Manuscripts outside the journal's scope may be declined during initial editorial screening without external peer review.
