Waste Management

ISSN: 0956-053X
5 Year impact factor: 8.7
Impact factor: 8.1

International Journal of Integrated Waste Management, Science and Technology Waste Management is devoted to the presentation and discussion of information on solid waste generation, characterization, minimization, collection, separation, treatment, and disposal, as well as manuscripts that address waste management policy, education, and economic and environmental assessments. The journal addresses various types of solid wastes including municipal (e.g., residential, institutional, and commercial), agricultural, and special (e.g., hazardous household, hazardous and non-hazardous industrial, construction and demolition, sewage sludge, healthcare and medical) wastes. Mining, metallurgical and radioactive wastes are not in the scope of the journal. The journal welcomes both fundamental and applied research that can be related to problems of interest to solid waste researchers, practitioners and/or policy makers. Well documented case studies will be considered but they must describe results that can be applied beyond the specific location of the case study. Manuscripts that focus on the use of a waste material in a new product are often more suitable for a journal that focuses on the material properties of the product. In considering whether a manuscript is suitable for publication in Waste Management, consider whether the information is of potential use to solid waste researchers, practitioners and/or policymakers. The following are some of the major areas in which papers are solicited: Generation and characterization Minimization Recycling and reuse Storage, collection, transport, and transfer Treatment (mechanical, biological, chemical, thermal, other) Landfill disposal Environmental assessments (including LCA and S-LCA) Economic analysis (including LCC) Policy and regulations Planning New and emerging issues and technologies Waste Management will not be accepting proposals for new Special Issues (SI) anymore. The new Special Issue topics and contents will be arranged and announced by the editorial team of WM. Interested authors are welcome to contribute articles.

Water Cycle

ISSN: 2666-4453

Water plays a critical role in supporting life and ecosystems. However, a combination of ever-growing demands on water resources and low water use efficiency has caused severe water and environmental stresses, increasing the risk of contamination. An interdisciplinary, integrated and balanced approach is required to secure the safety of the water supply and water environmental management systems. The development of a sustainable, multifaceted and multilevel water cycle system is a new and fast-growing focus in the field of water. The water cycle has traditionally referred to the natural circulation system, where water evaporates, condenses and falls to the ground in a continuous cycle. However, attention is shifting to the water meta-cycle, where water has multiple interactions with the environment, ecology, hydrology, hydraulics, civil engineering, meteorology and topography under different scales and dimensions. Understanding this water meta-cycle, the processes involved, and their potential impact is a scientific challenge of enormous importance. Progress is needed to advance our knowledge and to inform sustainable development. Water Cycle is an interdisciplinary open access journal that publishes top-tier original research in all areas of water cycles, including meta-cycles. It examines their relationship to science, technology, society, economics, health, culture, policy, regulation and strategy. It also offers water academics, engineers and practitioners the opportunity to exchange knowledge and experience. Papers will report significant advances in a wide range of categories including (but not limited to): The different dimensions of water cycles: natural cycle, social cycle, ecological cycle, engineering cycle, cascading cycle and process cycle. The different scales of water cycles: water meta-cycle, local cycle, regional cycle, watershed cycle and environmental cycle. Water conservation in agricultural, industrial, domestic and municipal applications. Water treatment, recycle and reuse for different water resources, including wastewater, industrial wastewater, drinking water, reclaimed water, rainwater, seawater, mine water and brackish water. The water cycle-environment-ecosystem nexus. The water-waste-soil-atmosphere nexus. How water cycles interlink and interact with elements, materials and energy flows. Water mediated material transformation, element cycle and energy flow. The interactions, synergies and coordination between water conservation, reuse and the water cycle. Water system analysis, water policy and water management.
