About this journal

JAWER’s paradigm-changing (online only) articles provide directly applicable solutions to water engineering problems within the whole hydrosphere (rivers, lakes groundwater, estuaries, coastal and marine waters) covering areas such as:

• integrated water resources management and catchment hydraulics
• measures to adapt water resource systems and hydraulic structures to climate change
• modelling environmental problems in rivers, lakes and catchments
• water-energy nexus
• hydraulic machinery and structures
• hydraulics applied to water supply, treatment and drainage systems (including outfalls)
• water quality, security and governance in an engineering context
• environmental monitoring
• maritime hydraulics
• ecohydraulics
• flood risk modelling and management
• water related hazards

Particular emphasis is given to reproducible, innovative methods specifically showcasing studies on interfacing technology-based engineering solutions within the hydro-environment and its ecological values and services which are applicable to a global audience.

Journal of Applied Water Engineering and Research is an online journal from International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR) and the World Council of Civil Engineers (WCCE).

IAHR

The International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR), founded in 1935, is a worldwide, independent organisation of engineers and water specialists working in fields related to hydroenvironmental science and its practical application.

It promotes the advancement and exchange of knowledge through working groups, specialty symposia, congresses, and publications on water resources, river and coastal hydraulics, risk analysis, energy, environment, disaster prevention and industrial processes.

WCCE

The  World Council of Civil Engineers (WCCE) was founded in 2005 to create and foster a global platform of civil engineering societies, civil engineering related companies, non-governmental organisations related to civil engineering, academic institutions and individual professional civil engineers.

WCCE aims to become a forum for exchange of professional skills, knowledge, technology and information across the globe addressing the needs and concerns.
