Aim and Scope
Aim
The Journal of Water Engineering and Management (online) has been published three times a year—in April, August, and December since April 2020. The journal is published by Academic Hope, Kaju Bagan, Hehal, Ranchi. It is an academic, open-access, online, peer-reviewed international journal.
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Provide a platform for original and unpublished research contributions, including theoretical developments, experimental investigations, applied case studies, viewpoints, and documented success stories that advance sustainable water 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:
Integrated watershed and river basin management
Surface water hydrology, flood forecasting, flood routing, and flood risk management
Irrigation engineering, drainage systems, and salinity management in agricultural landscapes
Groundwater assessment, modelling, recharge, and sustainable management, including conjunctive use
Reuse, recycling, and management of treated wastewater for agricultural, industrial, and urban applications
Application of nanoscience and nanotechnology in water and wastewater treatment and purification systems
Smart water systems, including canal automation, sensor networks, IoT, and data-driven water management
Energy-efficient, low-carbon, and climate-resilient irrigation and water distribution systems
Agricultural water management, water productivity, and demand management under climate variability and change
Urban water systems, including institutional, governance, economic, and policy frameworks for water management
