International Journal of Water Resources Engineering

• Hydrology and catchment processes: rainfall–runoff modelling, water balance and evapotranspiration, snowmelt and glacial hydrology, infiltration and soil moisture dynamics, hydrological model calibration and uncertainty, and remote sensing and GIS applications in hydrology.
• Hydrodynamics and computational hydraulics: open channel and pressurised flow, turbulence and mixing processes, numerical modelling with one-, two-, and three-dimensional schemes, physical hydraulic modelling and scaling, hydraulic transients, and validation against field and laboratory data.
• River engineering and sediment dynamics: fluvial geomorphology and channel evolution, sediment transport and scour, river training and bank protection, dredging and channel maintenance, floodplain connectivity, and reservoir sedimentation and flushing.
• River restoration and environmental hydraulics: ecological restoration of degraded river systems, environmental and minimum flow requirements, fish passage and habitat hydraulics, riparian and wetland rehabilitation, and thermal and water quality dynamics in flowing waters.
• Hydropower engineering: run-of-river and storage scheme design, turbine selection and performance, penstock and surge system analysis, small and micro-hydropower systems, pumped storage operation, and integration of hydropower with variable renewable generation.
• Dams, reservoirs, and hydraulic structures: dam design, safety, and surveillance, spillway and energy dissipation design, gates, weirs, and control structures, reservoir operation and optimisation, multipurpose reservoir systems, and rehabilitation of ageing hydraulic infrastructure.
• Flood hydrology and management: flood frequency analysis, hydrodynamic flood inundation modelling, dam break and breach analysis, flood forecasting and early warning, structural and non-structural mitigation measures, and floodplain mapping and risk assessment.
• Groundwater and surface water interaction: aquifer recharge and discharge processes, baseflow contribution to rivers, conjunctive use of surface and groundwater, seepage through and beneath hydraulic structures, and modelling of coupled systems.
• Irrigation and conveyance hydraulics: canal design and regulation, conveyance losses and lining performance, flow measurement structures, pumping and lift systems, and hydraulic efficiency of distribution networks.
• Water conservation and climate adaptation: demand reduction and efficiency measures, rainwater harvesting and artificial recharge, drought hydrology and low-flow analysis, climate change impacts on catchment yield and extremes, and adaptation of water infrastructure to changing hydrological regimes.
• Instrumentation, monitoring, and data-driven methods: streamflow and sediment gauging, remote sensing of water bodies, sensor networks and telemetry, hydroinformatics, and machine learning applications in hydrological and hydraulic prediction.
