International Journal of Hydrology Science and Technology

Aims & Scope

IJHST is a peer-reviewed international journal covering research and practical studies on hydrological science, technology, water resources and related topics including water, air and soil pollution and hazardous waste issues.

IJHST was initiated to communicate ideas, findings, methods, techniques or summaries of interesting projects or investigations in the area of hydrology.

Topics covered include: -Dams and modelling reservoir operations- Geostatistics, groundwater modelling- Climate change and variability- Eco-hydrology and hydro-ecology- Environmental hydrology and hydraulics- Flood and drought regionalisation and control- Rain, evapotranspiration and wind analysis- Remote sensing, GIS and data analysis- River and sediment engineering- Urban, surface, snow and karst hydrology- Water distribution networks; irrigation, drainage and water deficit- Water resources engineering and best management practices- Water policy, economics and scarcity- Water use and consumption; water reuse and wetlands- Water, soil and air quality and pollution
