Environmental Science: Water Research and Technology

Environmental Science: Water Research & Technology seeks to showcase high quality research about fundamental science, innovative technologies, and management practices that promote sustainable water.

ISSN: 2053-1419

Scope

The journal aims to provide a comprehensive and relevant forum that unites the diverse communities and disciplines conducting water research relevant to engineered systems and the built environment. This includes fundamental science geared toward understanding physical, chemical, and biological phenomena in these systems as well as applied research focused on the development and optimisation of engineered treatment, management, and supply strategies.

Papers must report a significant advance in the theory, fundamental understanding, practice or application of water research, management, engineering or technology, within the following areas:

• Treatment and fate of chemical and microbial contaminants, including emerging contaminants
• Water distribution and wastewater collection
• Green infrastructure
• Stormwater management and treatment
• Potable reuse
• Residue management
• Sustainability analysis and design, including life cycle assessment studies
• Municipal and industrial wastewater treatment and resource recovery
• Drinking water treatment
• Water policy and regulation
• Applications of new water technologies* 
• Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH)
• Water-energy nexus
• Simulation and data science applications to engineered water systems
• Environmental remediation of soil, sediment, and groundwater
• Impacts of climate change on engineered water systems

The journal places special focus on issues associated with water sustainability, as well as research that may lead to more secure, resilient and reliable water supplies. And it welcomes inter- and multidisciplinary work contributing to any of the above developments that are likely to be of interest to the broad community that the Journal addresses.

Manuscripts should be written to be accessible to scientists and engineers in all disciplines associated with the Journal.

All manuscripts must highlight their novel features and explain the significance of the work relative to related studies in their field as well as the likely impact on relevant water communities in the industry, government or academia.

Readership

Scientists, engineers, policy makers, individuals working in the water associated industries and the general public.
