Agricultural Water Management

ISSN: 0378-3774
5 Year impact factor: 6.2
Impact factor: 5.9

The journal publishes papers of international significance relating to the science, economics, and policy of agricultural water management. In all cases, manuscripts must address implications and provide insight regarding agricultural water management.The primary topics that we consider are the following: • Farm-level and regional water management • Crop water relations, crop yields and water productivity • Irrigation, drainage, and salinity in cultivated areas • Salinity management and strategies for improving the use of saline water in agriculture • Rainwater harvesting and crop water management in rainfed areas • Use of wastewater and other low quality waters in agriculture • Groundwater management in agriculture and conjunctive use of groundwater and surface water • Implications of groundwater and surface water management on nutrient cycling • Exploitation and protection of agricultural water resources.Additional topics of interest include interactions between agricultural water management and the environment (flooding, soil erosion, nutrient loss and depletion, non-point source pollution, water quality, desertification, and the potential implications of global climate change for agricultural water management), and the institutional and regulatory aspects of agricultural water management (water pricing, allocation and competition).Papers in these categories must draw direct and practical linkages to agricultural water management. Manuscripts drawing generalised conclusions, such as that competition for water will increase in future, or that less water will be available for agriculture, are unlikely to be considered.Also, manuscripts describing basic soil-water-plant relationships, basic engineering and hydrology, or methods of estimating evapotranspiration will be considered only if the discussion is relevant to the active management of water in agriculture and the information enhances international literature.

Water Research

5 Year impact factor: 12.2
Impact factor: 11.4

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.

Water Science and Technology

ISSN: 0273-1223

AIMS AND SCOPE Water Science and Technology is an international journal which provides coverage of the best papers from IAWQ regional and specialized conferences. Twenty four issues are published each year encompassing important developments in all aspects of water quality management and pollution control. The subjects covered are defined by IAWQ's mission statement which is to advance the science and practice of water pollution control and water quality management worldwide.This encompasses five broad areas: (1) wastewater treatment processes for domestic, industrial and municipal effluents; (2) Sources of pollution including hazardous wastes and source control; (3) Effects and impacts of pollution on rivers, lakes, groundwater and marine waters; (4) Water reuse and aquatic environmental restoration; (5) Policy, strategy, control and management aspects of water quality. The value of Water Science and Technology lies in the prompt publication of these proceedings in journal form, ensuring rapid and wide dissemination of research results, developments and application of new techniques, and the related managerial and policy issues. Scientists, engineers, consultants, managers and policy-makers unable to attend conferences or who lack time to keep up with the continually growing literature will find this journal essential as a permanent record of progress. Papers are selected by a rigorous review procedure and are published together with posters selected from those presented at the conference.

Water-Energy Nexus

ISSN: 2588-9125

The management of natural water or water/wastewater infrastructures is closely related to energy. Effective energy management is not possible without clean and adequate water sources. Water-Energy Nexus is an interdisciplinary journal that covers research on energy efficiency in natural water management, and water/wastewater treatment and distribution, energy for water transmission/treatment/distribution and wastewater collection/treatment/disposal, water for energy extraction/production, as well as related topics. The studies can include physical, chemical, and biological processes in engineering- and management-fields of the water-energy nexus. The journal welcomes original contributions covering, but not limited to:strategies to improve water/wastewater/ solid waste management and treatment efficiencies,strategies to save energy consumption or increase energy production in water/wastewater/ solid waste related industry,efficient utilization of water resources in energy industry,efficient soil erosion and remediation technologies or practices,urban and rural water resources and watersheds management, mitigation of and adaptation to climate change impacts on flooding, water environment, and ecology, natural water and water/wastewater managements (or practices) affecting climate changes and energy industry, new/renewable energy coupled to water management practices,water-cycle-based circular economy (or strategy to promote one water concept) any natural, socio-economic, and technical factors affecting water resources (in terms of quality and quantity), water/wastewater infrastructures, and energy industry. The works include scientific and engineering strategies of experimental, theoretical, mathematical, and managemental approaches that address the aforementioned issues. The work could be either bench scale or pilot scale.Each submission will be evaluated for its novelty, originality, and practical implications.Editorial Board
