The mission of the International Journal of Water Resources Development is to improve the access and use of water globally by publishing the latest developments in planning, policy-making and management from all over the word. The journal is policy and practice focussed and read by academia, industry, policy-makers and legal teams globally because of high-quality papers published that can contribute to solving real world water problems.

    Technical, economic, financial, social, environmental, legal and institutional aspects of water;
    interdependences and inter-linkages between the water and the agricultural, energy, industry, health, environment and other sectors;
    specific case studies of water resources management and policy-making in developed and developing countries, past, present and future.
