Hydrogeology and Watershed Science
is a peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to
studies on groundwater systems and watershed dynamics. The journal serves as a
comprehensive platform for researchers, hydrologists, environmental scientists, and water
resource managers to share original research, review articles, and case studies that advance the
understanding of hydrogeological processes and watershed management.
Scope
The journal covers a wide range of topics within hydrogeology and watershed science,
including:
1. Groundwater Hydrology: Research on the movement, distribution, and quality of
groundwater, including studies on aquifer characterization, groundwater-surface water
interactions, and groundwater contamination.
2. Watershed Management: Studies on the planning, managing, and conserving
watersheds, focusing on sustainable practices that ensure water quality, flood control,
and ecosystem health.
3. Hydrological Modeling: Research on the development and application of models to
simulate groundwater flow, predict water availability, and assess the impacts of land
use, climate change, and human activities on watershed systems.
4. Water Quality and Pollution: Investigations into the sources, transport, and
mitigation of pollutants in groundwater and surface water within watersheds, including
the effects on drinking water supplies and aquatic ecosystems.
5. Sustainable Water Resources: Studies exploring sustainable approaches to water
resource management, focusing on preserving and restoring groundwater and
watershed systems.
Hydrogeology and Watershed Science aaims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and
provide critical insights that support the sustainable management of water resources,
contributing to protecting groundwater systems and watershed ecosystems worldwide.
