The Journal of Environmental Engineering presents broad interdisciplinary information on the practice and status of research in environmental engineering science, systems engineering, and sanitation. Papers focus on design, development of engineering methods, management, governmental policies, and societal impacts of wastewater collection and treatment; the fate and transport of contaminants on watersheds, in surface waters, in groundwater, in soil, and in the atmosphere; environmental biology, microbiology, chemistry, fluid mechanics, and physical processes that control natural concentrations and dispersion of wastes in air, water, and soil; nonpoint-source pollution on watersheds, in streams, in groundwater, in lakes, and in estuaries and coastal areas; treatment, management, and control of hazardous wastes; control and monitoring of air pollution and acid deposition; airshed management; and design and management of solid waste facilities. A balanced contribution from consultants, practicing engineers, and researchers is sought on engineering solutions, and professional obligations and responsibilities.

The Journal of Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste publishes peer-reviewed original articles on all aspects of research, planning, development and management of hazardous, toxic, and radioactive waste (HTRW). These include the traditional areas of research, design, control, restoration/remediation, construction, planning, detection/analysis, oversight, operations, regulations and policy. The Journal offers articles with both fundamental research and practical approaches/solutions to the problems and challenges faced by engineers, scientists, process managers, practicing professionals, researchers, contractors, and government policymakers.

The Journal of Hydraulic Engineering accepts original contributions that describe the analysis and solutions of problems in hydraulic engineering. Technical Notes may present a problem, without solution, of common interest. Topics range from flows in closed conduits to free-surface flows (canals, rivers, lakes, and estuaries) to environmental fluid dynamics. Topics include transport processes involving fluids (multiphase flows) such as sediment and contaminant transport, and heat and gas transfers. Emphasis is placed on the presentation of concepts, methods, techniques, and results that advance knowledge and/or are suitable for general application in the hydraulic engineering profession.

The Journal of Hydrologic Engineering disseminates interdisciplinary information in the field of hydrologic science and engineering. The journal publishes original research and practical applications related to water in natural and built environments. It covers fundamental and applied hydrology and emerging areas (e.g., surface water, vadose zone, groundwater, water quality, snow/ice and glacier, urban/agricultural/forest, and coastal hydrology; hydroinformatics, ecohydrology, hydroclimatology, and socio-hydrology). The journal encourages submissions utilizing analytical, numerical, probabilistic/stochastic, experimental, remote sensing, artificial intelligence (e.g., machine learning), and other data-driven approaches that advance hydrologic science and engineering practices and promote sustainable and resilient engineering solutions to real-world water and environmental problems.

The Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering covers all aspects of irrigation and drainage engineering. Related topics of interest include: hydrology; hydraulics; environmental impacts; solute and sediment transport; soil salinity; water‐quality control; sustainability; water management and conservation; evapotranspiration; soil‐water flow; design, operations and maintenance of irrigation and drainage infrastructure; development and application of technology; and economics, energy use, and regulation in irrigation and drainage engineering. The journal encompasses theoretical, experimental, numerical and analytical modeling; new developments and results of research; as well as case studies and practical applications of engineering. Submissions are evaluated for their originality, technical soundness, advancement of knowledge, and development of engineering solutions to practical irrigation and drainage problems.

The Journal of Sustainable Water in the Built Environment presents activity and research developments in water issues, challenges, and opportunities throughout the developed landscape. The scope covers sustainable stormwater management and broader water systems interactions. Subjects include urban stormwater quantity, quality, hydrology, characterization, treatability, and impacts; water harvesting; urban water ecosystem services; sustainable urban watershed management; urban streams; combined sewer overflow/stormwater interactions; urban energy/water interactions; on-site/decentralized water and wastewater systems, life cycle analysis; and related policy, implementation, and economics. All papers are encouraged to have design or regulatory implications that are applicable to moving the profession forward.

The Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management reports on multidisciplinary and emerging issues in the field of water resources planning and management.

Journal publications include research and practical applications that examine engineering, social, economic, environmental, cultural, recreational, and/or administrative aspects of the use, distribution, regulation, reuse, and conservation of water in natural and built environments.

Topics encompass innovative technologies, policies, and emerging systems analysis approaches, applications, and practices for improved monitoring, modeling, digitalization, and management of:

• surface and ground water resources,
• water supply and distribution systems,stormwater, drinking water, and wastewater,
• ecosystem services and environmental water,
• nexus of water, energy, and agricultural systems, and
• sustainability, resilience, and adaptation of water resources and infrastructure to uncertain and evolving environments.
