Overview

The award-winning WIREs (Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews) series combines some of the most powerful features of encyclopedic reference works and review journals in an innovative online format. They are designed to promote a cross-disciplinary research ethos while maintaining the highest scientific and presentational standards, but should be viewed first and foremost as evolving online databases of cutting-edge reviews.

WIREs Water

An important new forum to promote cross-disciplinary understanding of the water environment, and the severe challenges that it faces during the 21st Century

An authoritative, encyclopedic resource addressing key topics from the perspectives of earth sciences, biology, engineering, social sciences, and humanities

High-quality content commissioned from expert contributors and peer-reviewed to a rigorous standard

Content is fully citable, qualifying for abstracting, indexing, and ISI ranking

Aims and Scope

The scope of WIREs Water is at the interfaces between five very different intellectual themes: the basic science of water, its physics and chemistry, flux, and things that it transfers and transforms; life in water, and the dependence of ecosystems and organisms on water to survive and to thrive; the engineering of water to furnish services and to protect society; the people who live with, experience and manage the water environment; and those interpretations that we, as a society, have brought to water through art, religion, history and which in turn shapes how we come to understand it. These interfaces are not simply designed to be ways of looking at water through what necessarily must be interdisciplinary perspectives. They are also designed to be outward facing in terms of how water can help to understand wider questions concerning our environment and human-environment interactions.

Topics:

Engineering Water

The contributions made by the engineering sciences to the ways in which we engineer and plan water: water, health and sanitation, including water supply, waste and disposal, infectious and waterborne diseases, public health, environmental standards: the sustainable engineering of water, including source protection, water conservation and recycling, resilience to natural hazards, waste and drainage systems, waterproofed urban landscapes, enhancing ecosystems through engineering; planning water including planning concepts, path dependency, retrodiction and prediction, forecasting, holistic analysis of water.

Human Water

Perspectives from the social sciences and humanities on our water condition: water governance, including decision-making processes, rules, customs, laws and accountability in water management; the value of water, including water pricing, more-than-economic valuation of water, hidden and embedded water (e.g. in energy, food), alternative definitions of the ‘clean’ and the ‘safe’; the rights to water, including distributive justice, entitlements and their definition, water conflicts across spatial scales; water as imagined and represented, in the creative arts, across world views, in memory and through communication.

Science of Water

The physics and chemistry of water: hydrological processes throughout the hydrological cycle; stocks and flows of water and the matter that it entrains, transports and deposits, at different spatial and temporal scales; water extremes in stocks and flows and there distributions in space and time; water quality, including solutes, sediment and temperature and its control by water flow pathways and transit times; water and environmental change, including climate, land use and flow regulation.

Water and Life

The ecology and biology of freshwater environments: the nature of freshwater ecosystems, including their structure and organisation, inter-connectivity, emergent properties, sensitivity and resilience; stresses and pressures on ecosystems, at the scales of species, habitats and ecosystems, and including multiple stressors; conservation, management and awareness including restoration, the analysis of ecosystem services, questions of spatial and temporal scale and public engagement with freshwater ecosystems.

目标和范围

WIREs Water 的范围是五个非常不同的知识之间的接口主题：水的基本科学、物理和化学、通量以及水所传输和转化的物质；水中生命以及生态系统和生物对水的依赖；水的工程服务以及对社会的保护；与水共存、体验和管理水环境的人们；以及我们作为一个社会通过艺术、宗教、历史对水的解读，这些解读反过来又塑造了我们对水的理解。这些界面不仅仅是通过必然是跨学科的视角来看待水的方式。它们还被设计为面向外部，以说明水如何帮助我们理解有关​​我们的环境和人与环境相互作用的更广泛问题。

主题：

工程水

工程科学对我们设计和规划水的方式所做的贡献：水、健康和卫生，包括供水、废物和处置、传染性和水传播疾病、公共卫生、环境标准：可持续的水工程，包括水源保护、水资源保护和回收、抵御自然灾害的能力、废物和排水系统、防水城市景观、通过工程改善生态系统；规划水，包括规划概念、路径依赖、回溯和预测、预报、水的整体分析。

人类的水

社会科学和人文学科对我们水状况的看法：水治理，包括决策过程、规则、习俗、法律和水管理问责制；水的价值，包括水价、水的超经济价值、隐藏和嵌入的水（例如能源、食品中的水）、“清洁”和“安全”的替代定义；水权，包括分配正义、权利及其定义、跨空间尺度的水冲突；在创意艺术、跨世界观、记忆和通过交流中对水的想象和表现。

水的科学

水的物理和化学：整个水文循环中的水文过程；不同空间和时间尺度上的水的存量和流量以及它所夹带、运输和沉积的物质；水的存量和流量的极端值及其在空间和时间上的分布；水质，包括溶质、沉积物和温度及其通过水流路径和运输时间的控制；水和环境变化，包括气候、土地利用和流量调节。
