JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN WATER RESOURCES ASSOCIATION

美国水资源协会杂志(JAWRA)致力于出版以其对水资源问题的广泛研究为特色的原创论文。水的性质是复杂的。因此，有效管理水资源需要对许多概念及其应用有广泛的了解，因为基于单一观点的计划- -只有工程学、生物学、经济学或法律- -往往会产生不愉快的结果。应对水资源挑战的决策者需要获得从各种角度提出的高质量科学和研究。40多年来，JAWRA一直致力于这一目标。目标和范围JAWRA致力于成为关于多学科水资源问题的杰出学术出版物。JAWRA的论文提出了来自多个学科的观点，这些观点交织在一起，以深入了解一个关键的水资源问题，或者主要基于一个学科，该学科对其他学科具有重要的应用。论文经常涵盖最近AWRA会议的主题，如河岸生态、地理信息系统、适应性管理和水资源政策。JAWRA的作者向更广泛的读者展示了他们学科领域内的工作。我们的助理编辑和审稿人反映了这种多样性，以确保对广泛的主题进行知识渊博和公正的审查。我们特别鼓励读者提交能够传递“带回家的信息”的论文。

The Journal of the American Water Resources Association (JAWRA) is dedicated to publishing original papers characterized by its broad approach to water resources issues. Water by its nature is complex. Therefore, effectively managing water resources requires a broad understanding of many concepts and their applications, as plans based on a single outlook - only engineering, only biology, only economics, or only law - tend to have unhappy outcomes. Decisions makers addressing water resources challenges require access to high quality science and research presented from a variety of perspectives. JAWRA has been focused on this objective for more than 40 years.Aims and ScopeJAWRA seeks to be the preeminent scholarly publication on multidisciplinary water resources issues. JAWRA papers present ideas derived from multiple disciplines woven together to give insight into a critical water issue, or are based primarily upon a single discipline with important applications to other disciplines. Papers often cover the topics of recent AWRA conferences such as riparian ecology, geographic information systems, adaptive management, and water policy.JAWRA authors present work within their disciplinary fields to a broader audience. Our Associate Editors and reviewers reflect this diversity to ensure a knowledgeable and fair review of a broad range of topics. We particularly encourage submissions of papers which impart a 'take home message' our readers can use.
