《水科學與技術》發表了關于全球廢水處理和水質管理科學與技術的所有方面的同行評議論文。這包括五個廣泛的領域:雨水、生活污水、工業廢水和城市污水的處理和運輸工藝污染源包括危險廢物和污染源控制污染對河流、湖泊、地下水和海水的影響水的再利用和水生環境的恢復水質的政策、策略、控制及管理水科學和技術，連同供水和水的實踐和技術，具有一項特殊的使命，即作為科學、工程應用和水的管理方面之間的橋梁，如許多IWA專家小組所代表的那樣。特別鼓勵撰寫描述全面實現進展的論文。水科學與技術為新發現和研究方向提供了快速出版。

Water Science and Technology publishes peer-reviewed papers on all aspects of the science and technology of wastewater treatment and water quality management worldwide. This encompasses five broad areas:Wastewater treatment and transportation processes for stormwater and domestic, industrial and municipal effluentsSources of pollution including hazardous wastes and source controlEffects and impacts of pollution on rivers, lakes, groundwater and marine watersWater reuse and aquatic environmental restorationPolicy, strategy, control and management aspects of water qualityWater Science and Technology, together with Water Supply and Water Practice and Technology, have a special mission to serve as a bridge between science, engineering applications and management aspects of water as represented by the many IWA Specialist Groups. Papers describing progress in full-scale implementations are particularly encouraged. Water Science and Technology offers fast publication for new findings and research directions.
