Water & Ecology

ISSN: 3050-4724

Water & Ecology (W&E) focuses on original research in the fields of water resources, water environment and water ecology (Three-Water, water3) to coordinate theoretical, methodological and technological innovations in the three fields. The aim is to overcome the constraints of current research paradigms, as well as achieve optimal allocation of water resources, steady improvement of water environment, and fundamental improvement of water ecology. W&E is a platform for disseminating original research in the field of water and ecology, including not only traditional sciences, technologies, policies and practices but also innovative approaches. W&E welcomes research on the relationship between water and ecology, theories and methods of Three-Water integration, watershed water ecosystem evolution, water ecological integrity and ecological security, climate change response and resilient water ecosystems, and digital/smart watersheds, including but not limited to the following topics. The relationship between water and ecology includes water quality risk identification and assessment, early warning of water quality safety, process regulation and optimal utilization of water quality safety, environmental behavior and ecological effects of water pollutants (especially new pollutants), ecosystem response and biodiversity under the influence of water quality, and water ecosystem health. The theory and method of Three-Water integration refers to the overall construction of a green and sustainable natural and social water ecosystem from the three levels of micro-water purification, meso-water resource utilization and macro-water ecosystem. In addition to the new principles and technologies of water purification at multi-phase and micro-interface scale, it includes water-energy-carbon coupling mechanism, water quality transformation mechanism and purification technology of sustainable water quality, environmental friendliness and energy resource balance, green water quality improvement technology system based on water resources security, and construction of "zero pollution" green water ecosystem.

In association with the International Water Association Water Research has an open access companion journal Water Research X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.Water Research publishes refereed, original research papers on all aspects of the science and technology of the anthropogenic water cycle, water quality, and its management worldwide. A broad outline of the journal's scope includes: •Treatment processes for water and wastewaters (municipal, agricultural, industrial, and on-site treatment), including resource recovery and residuals management; •Urban hydrology including sewer systems, stormwater management, and green infrastructure; •Drinking water treatment and distribution; •Potable and non-potable water reuse; •Sanitation, public health, and risk assessment; •Anaerobic digestion, solid and hazardous waste management, including source characterization and the effects and control of leachates and gaseous emissions; •Contaminants (chemical, microbial, anthropogenic particles such as nanoparticles or microplastics) and related water quality sensing, monitoring, fate, and assessment; •Anthropogenic impacts on inland, tidal, coastal and urban waters, focusing on surface and ground waters, and point and non-point sources of pollution; •Environmental restoration, linked to surface water, groundwater and groundwater remediation; •Analysis of the interfaces between sediments and water, and between water and atmosphere, focusing specifically on anthropogenic impacts; •Mathematical modelling, systems analysis, machine learning, and beneficial use of big data related to the anthropogenic water cycle; •Socio-economic, policy, and regulations studies. Water Research is an interdisciplinary journal with an applied edge. This means that papers that go into too many details of one of the supporting disciplines (such as chemistry, toxicology, microbiology, material sciences, etc.) without making a good link with water research in general may be rejected up-front. More information on types of manuscripts that are not suitable for Water Research are discussed in an editorial available at https://doi.org/10.1016/j.watres.2012.01.038. Audience: Biologists, chemical engineers, chemists, civil engineers, environmental engineers, limnologists, and microbiologists. Note that Water Research/Water Research X do not do pre-submission evaluations. Please carefully review the journal scope and previous issues of the journals to assess the fit of your manuscript. The handling editor will then evaluate suitability of your full manuscript. Elsevier and IWA have also jointly launched two specialist titles which authors are welcome to submit to: The open access Water Resources and Industry focuses on the role that industry plays in the exploitation, management and treatment of water resources. Water Resources and Economics addresses the financial and economic dimensions associated with water resources use and governance. Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, including a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
