該期刊旨在為亞太地區(qū)與水和水力問題有關(guān)的研究和工程應(yīng)用提供一個國際平臺。該雜志以可負擔得起的訂閱率提供廣泛的發(fā)行，并提供快速的審查和出版時間。該雜志特別鼓勵年輕研究人員發(fā)表論文。歡迎所有水力學主題的論文，特別是關(guān)于可持續(xù)水管理、水健康問題、環(huán)境水力學、生態(tài)水力學、海岸工程和水文學一體化的文章。特別鼓勵跨學科問題和理論與現(xiàn)場應(yīng)用的聯(lián)系。以預測模型、流動模擬、工程系統(tǒng)、監(jiān)測、管理戰(zhàn)略的形式解決水問題，包括基本的科學調(diào)查和/或流動行為、水動力學、水成分的命運和運輸以及有關(guān)的生物和化學過程的實驗研究，都在該期刊的范圍內(nèi)。亞太地區(qū)在人口密度、經(jīng)濟增長、景觀、傳統(tǒng)和歷史等方面的獨特特點要求對該地區(qū)的水問題進行特殊處理。該雜志的每一篇研究文章都將包含一個章節(jié)，描述亞太地區(qū)的實際或潛在應(yīng)用。這將為技術(shù)交流、聯(lián)合項目和技術(shù)轉(zhuǎn)讓提供一個有效的論壇。除了研究論文，該雜志還發(fā)表評論論文、邀請論文、書評和技術(shù)交流。包括在兩年一度的IAHR-APD大會上發(fā)表的選定論文的特刊，特別是IAHR-APD獲獎?wù)撐模瑢⒊蔀樵撈诳亩ㄆ谔厣Ｑ芯空撐?應(yīng)是基于理論、實驗、計算和/或其他方法對液壓知識的理解和/或應(yīng)用的完整研究工作的原始貢獻報告。歡迎理論與實驗相結(jié)合或基礎(chǔ)與應(yīng)用研究相結(jié)合的論文發(fā)表。綜述論文:涵蓋所有重要的問題，在水力學和水的問題，及其應(yīng)用。技術(shù)交流:報告亞太地區(qū)大型或創(chuàng)新的水力或水相關(guān)項目/問題。還鼓勵就具體問題和問題討論科學和技術(shù)觀點的交流。邀請論文:提供一個論壇，讓有經(jīng)驗的研究人員分享他們的經(jīng)驗和專業(yè)知識到亞太論壇。

The journal aims to provide an international platform for the dissemination of research and engineering applications related to water and hydraulic problems in the Asia-Pacific region. The journal provides a wide distribution at affordable subscription rate, as well as a rapid reviewing and publication time. The journal particularly encourages papers from young researchers.The journal welcomes papers in all topics of hydraulics, in particular articles on sustainable water management, water-health issues, environmental hydraulics, eco-hydraulics, coastal engineering and integration of hydraulics with hydrology. Inter-disciplinary problems and linkage of theory to field application are particularly encouraged. Solutions of water problems in the form of prediction models, flow simulations, engineering systems, monitoring, management strategies covering basic scientific investigations and/or experimental studies of flow behaviour, hydrodynamics, fate and transport of aquatic constituents, and related biological and chemical processes are all within the scope of the Journal.The unique features of the Asia-Pacific region in terms of population density, economic growth, landscape, tradition and history require special treatment of water problems in the region. Each research article in the journal will contain a section describing actual or potential applications to the Asia-Pacific region. This will provide an effective forum for technical exchanges, joint projects, and technology transfer.In addition to research articles, the journal also publishes review papers, invited papers, book reviews and technical communications. Special issues containing selected papers presented at the biennial IAHR-APD Congresses, in particular the IAHR-APD award papers, will be a regular feature of the journal.Research articles: should be original contributions reporting a complete research work leading to the understanding and/or application of hydraulic knowledge based on theoretical, experimental, computational and/or other approaches. Papers combining theory and experiments or combining basic and applied research are strongly welcome.Review papers: cover all important issues in hydraulics and water problems, and their application.Technical communications: report large-scale or innovative hydraulic or water-related projects/issues in the Asia-Pacific region. Communications discussing scientific and technical views on particular issues and problems are also encouraged.Invited papers: provide a forum for experienced researchers to share their experience and expertise to the Asia-Pacific forum.
