The Water Quality Research Journal is a quarterly publication. It is a forum for original research dealing with the aquatic environment, and should report new and significant findings that advance the understanding of the field. Critical review articles are especially encouraged.
Water Research is an international journal for researchers interested in water quality and its management. It publishes original research on treatment processes for municipal, agricultural and industrial water and wastewaters, water quality standards and analysis by chemical, physical and biological methods.Water Research is the official journal of the International Water Association (IWA).Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Water Resources (Vodnye Resursy) was founded in 1972 to present materials on the assessment of water resources, integrated waterresource use, water quality, and environmental protection. The journal covers many areas of research, including prediction of variations in continental water resources and regime; hydrophysical and hydrodynamic processes; environmental aspects of water quality and protection; economic, social, and legal aspects of water-resource development; water resources outside Russia; and experimental methods of investigation.
Water is at the heart of human civilization. Throughout history, societies have progressed by improving access to clean water for drinking, for sanitation and for agriculture, and by removing contaminants from water to reduce the effects on the environment and improve public health. Our modern society faces new challenges that require innovative approaches to our relationship with water: climate change affects water systems by increasing droughts and floods, which in turn reduce water availability, increase contamination of water resources and eventually affect both drinking and sanitation facilities; and the rising global population generates more stress on water resources and challenges for public health.
Publishing monthly, Nature Water covers all aspects of research that are connected to this evolving relationship between society and water resources. We publish in the natural sciences (primarily Earth and environmental science), in engineering (including environmental, civil, chemical and materials engineering), and in the social sciences (economics, human geography and sociology, among other disciplines), with a particular interest in regards to interdisciplinary research. Our aim is to publish studies that will have an impact on fundamental understanding, on practical technological applications and on the potential for policy implementation.
Water Resources Research (WRR) is an interdisciplinary journal that focuses on hydrology and water resources. It publishes original research in the natural and social sciences of water. It emphasizes the role of water in the Earth system, including physical, chemical, biological, and ecological processes in water resources research and management, including social, policy, and public health implications. It encompasses observational, experimental, theoretical, analytical, numerical, and data-driven approaches that advance the science of water and its management. Submissions are evaluated for their novelty, accuracy, significance, and broader implications of the findings.
In association with International Water Association(IWA)
Different industries use radically different water resources in their production processes, while they produce, treat and dispose a wide variety of wastewater qualities. Depending on the geographical location of the facilities, the impact on the local resources will vary, pre-empting the applicability of one single approach.
The aims and scope of the journal include:
This new title follows the Universal Access model. Publication charges are waived for authors from developing countries eligible under
Much of the water diverted from streams and reservoirs, or pumped from aquifers, worldwide, is used in agriculture. And much of humanity earns its living through some connection with agriculture - either directly as a farmer or farm worker, or indirectly in one of the many endeavours that support farming activities. Thus, water plays a critical role in providing livelihood opportunities and sustaining the health and welfare of rural families around the world.Water resources and rural development publishes papers describing the role of water resources in supporting livelihood activities in rural areas. Our primary interest is in the impacts of water resources policy and management on rural livelihoods and household welfare. Thus, we welcome analyses of natural resource policies and other policies, outside the direct scope of natural resources, which influence the ways in which land, water, and other resources are allocated and used. We welcome also analyses of the importance of water resources in agriculture and in efforts to sustain or enhance environmental amenities. We recognize and encourage discussion also of the many ways in which water resources enhance rural livelihoods outside the scope of agriculture. For example, we welcome papers that describe issues pertaining to water's role in alleviating poverty and enhancing food security, drinking water supply, water quality, health impacts, wastewater reuse, multiple use systems, and other topics, provided there is an evident link to livelihoods.
Water Reuse focuses on all aspects of the treatment and use of non-conventional water resources. This journal publishes Review Papers, Research Papers, Short Communications and Perspectives related (but not limited) to the following topics: - The use of domestic and industrial wastewater, rainwater, mine water, brackish water, seawater, or other non-conventional water sources. - The applications of non-conventional water resources for agriculture, industry, landscape, drinking, municipal use, and other uses. - Treatment technology and process of non-conventional water resources, including biological, chemical, physical, natural treatment, etc. - Desalination technology and processes. - Disinfection and microbial risk control. - Storage and distribution of treated non-conventional water resources. - Simulation, analysis, and control of the system. Water quality and ecological/health risk assessment of non-conventional water sources for water reuse. Planning, design, operation and management of non-conventional water treatment and reuse systems. Regulation and policy for water quality control and water resource management that feature non-conventional water sources. Standards for non-conventional water treatment and use. Economic, environmental, and societal aspects of non-conventional water use.
Water SA publishes refereed, original work in all branches of water science, technology, engineering and policy. This includes water resource development; the hydrological cycle; surface hydrology; geohydrology and hydrometeorology; limnology; salinisation; treatment and management of municipal and industrial water and wastewater; treatment and disposal of sewage sludge; environmental pollution control; water quality and treatment; aquaculture in terms of its impact on the water resource; agricultural water science; etc. Contributions may take the form of a paper, a critical review, a short communication, a rapid communication, a technical note or comments on papers already published. A paper is a comprehensive contribution to the subject, including introduction, experimental information and discussion of results. A review is an authoritative, critical account of recent and current research in a specific field to which the author has made notable contributions. A short communication is a concise account of new and significant findings to inform readers of preliminary or limited research results. A rapid communication is an original contribution that merits prompt publication to publicise the findings of very recent research with immediate significance. A technical note describes an original process or technique without necessarily including extensive data, theory or critical evaluation. Comments on papers already published are sent to the authors of the paper for reply and both the comments and the authors' reply will be published in the forthcoming edition of Water SA. All correspondence is to be routed through the Editor.
