A central forum for the dissemination of original work, this journal describes the analyses and solutions of problems in hydraulic engineering, hydrology, and water resources. Contributors emphasize concepts, methods, techniques, and results that advance knowledge, or are suitable for general application and use in the hydraulic engineering profession. Technical papers, notes, and professional discussions highlight hydraulic engineering issues ranging from short-term fluctuations in ground water to moment models of nonuniform channel-bend flow. On occasion, the results of any technical, economic, or social facet of the use and conservation of water as a natural resource are published.
