Water resources management and other water-related decisions and policies are frequently guided by economic dimensions. Economic considerations, including efficiency, equity, production, allocation, and pollution, have expanded as water resources have become scarcer both in terms of quantity and quality. While economic analyses applied to the water sector are useful and educational, their policy implications are less obvious for guiding policymakers. Water Economics and Policy (WEP) will address the economic-policy interaction by publishing highly technical water economics research with clear relevance for policy. WEP will aim to target a wide range of economic questions at local, regional, national and international levels. It will accommodate work that is focused on specific sectors (such as urban, hydropower, irrigation, and environment) as well as work that is inter-sectoral in nature. Theoretical and empirical papers are sought as well as those that demonstrate the integration of economics with scientific perspectives to support policy analysis. WEP will also publish book reviews and selected featured policy articles by policymakers in the field of water.

水资源管理和其他与水有关的决策和政策通常受经济因素的指导。随着水资源在数量和质量上变得越来越稀缺，经济因素（包括效率、公平、生产、分配和污染）也越来越多。虽然对水部门进行经济分析很有用，也具有教育意义，但它们对指导政策制定者的政策影响却不那么明显。《水经济与政策》（WEP）将通过发表与政策明确相关的技术性很强的水经济研究来解决经济与政策之间的相互作用。WEP 的目标是针对地方、区域、国家和国际层面的广泛经济问题。它将涵盖专注于特定部门（如城市、水电、灌溉和环境）的工作以及跨部门性质的工作。我们寻求理论和实证论文，以及那些展示经济学与科学观点相结合以支持政策分析的论文。WEP 还将​​发表书评和水领域政策制定者撰写的精选政策文章。
