Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management - ASCE

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management reports on all phases of planning and management of water resources.

The papers examine social, economic, environmental, and administrative concerns relating to the use and conservation of water.

Social and environmental objectives in areas such as fish and wildlife management, water-based recreation, and wild and scenic river use are assessed.

Developments in computer applications are discussed, as are ecological, cultural, and historical values.
