Aims and Scope:

Open Access Journal of Hydrology (OAJH) stands as an esteemed peer-reviewed open-access publication committed to advancing the field of hydrology through the dissemination of original research articles, reviews, and communications. With an unwavering dedication to excellence, this journal serves as a platform for researchers, hydrologists, engineers, and environmental scientists to share their knowledge, insights, and groundbreaking research on diverse facets of hydrology.

The comprehensive scope of OAJH encompasses a wide spectrum of topics within the realm of hydrology, ensuring the coverage of crucial domains that underpin our understanding of Earth’s water systems. This esteemed journal delves into groundwater hydrology, examining the intricate dynamics of aquifers, subsurface flow, and water table fluctuations. Additionally, surface water hydrology holds a prominent place within OAJH, exploring the mechanisms governing rivers, lakes, and streams, as well as their interaction with the surrounding environment.

Water quality emerges as another vital area of focus within OAJH, scrutinizing the intricate interplay between hydrological processes and the chemical composition of water resources. Through meticulous research and analysis, contributors to this journal shed light on issues related to water pollution, contaminant transport, water treatment technologies, and the preservation of water quality for ecological and human health purposes.

The realm of water resources management stands as a cornerstone of OAJH, providing a platform for researchers and practitioners to explore innovative approaches for the sustainable allocation, utilization, and protection of water resources. This encompasses the examination of water supply and demand dynamics, integrated water resources management frameworks, water governance, and the impacts of climate change on water availability and resilience.

Ecohydrology emerges as an essential field within OAJH, focusing on the intricate relationships between hydrological processes and ecosystems. Through the lens of ecohydrology, researchers investigate the complex interactions between water availability, vegetation dynamics, biodiversity, and ecosystem services. This interdisciplinary approach fosters a comprehensive understanding of the hydrological and ecological interdependencies, ultimately contributing to the development of sustainable water management strategies.

Hydrogeology also finds its place within the purview of OAJH, exploring the geological aspects of water systems, including the characterization of subsurface formations, the behavior of aquifers, groundwater flow patterns, and the impacts of human activities on groundwater resources. By delving into these intricate dynamics, researchers contribute to the effective management and protection of vital groundwater reservoirs.

Through its rigorous peer-review process, OAJH ensures the dissemination of high-quality research that advances our knowledge and understanding of hydrology. By embracing an open-access model, the journal promotes the global accessibility of cutting-edge research, fostering collaboration, and catalyzing interdisciplinary interactions among scientists, practitioners, policymakers, and the wider public.

In summary, Open Access Journal of Hydrology (OAJH) serves as a distinguished platform dedicated to the advancement of hydrological knowledge through the publication of original research articles, reviews, and communications. By providing a forum for researchers and professionals to share their expertise, insights, and innovative findings, OAJH plays a pivotal role in fostering progress, addressing challenges, and promoting sustainable practices in the field of hydrology.
