Water Science and Technology

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.
