Aims and Scope

Water Harvesting Research is a double-blind, open access, peer-reviewed scholarly journal dedicated to advancing scientific knowledge, technological innovation, and practical applications related to water harvesting and sustainable water resource management. The journal aims to provide a multidisciplinary platform for researchers, engineers, planners, and policymakers to exchange high-quality research addressing water scarcity, climate variability, and resilience in both arid and humid regions.

The journal publishes original research articles, review papers, technical notes, and case studies that explore theoretical, experimental, modeling, and applied aspects of water harvesting systems across urban, rural, agricultural, and natural environments.

Scope of the Journal includes, but is not limited to:

• Rainwater harvesting systems and technologies
• Urban water harvesting and stormwater management
• Agricultural water harvesting and soil-water conservation
• Groundwater recharge and managed aquifer recharge (MAR)
• Watershed-scale water harvesting planning and design
• Traditional and indigenous water harvesting practices
• Hydrological modeling and simulation of harvesting systems
• Climate change impacts and adaptation through water harvesting
• Water quality, treatment, and reuse in harvested water systems
• Socio-economic, environmental, and policy aspects of water harvesting
• Smart, nature-based, and innovative solutions for decentralized water supply
• Performance assessment, optimization, and sustainability evaluation of water harvesting systems

Water Harvesting Research seeks to bridge the gap between science and practice by promoting evidence-based solutions that support sustainable development goals, water security, and climate resilience worldwide.
