The Texas Water Journal - 2023

Hydrogeology, Geology, & Environmental Issues / Field Methods & Procedures

The Texas Water Journal (ISSN 2160-5319) is an online, peer-reviewed, and indexed journal devoted to the timely consideration of Texas water resources management, research, and policy issues from a multidisciplinary perspective that integrates science, engineering, law, planning, and other disciplines. It also provides updates on key state legislation and policy changes by Texas administrative agencies. The Texas Water Journal is published by the Texas Water Journal 501(c)(3) in cooperation with the Texas Water Resources Institute, part of Texas A&M AgriLife Research, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Texas A&M University and the Bureau of Economic Geology in the Jackson School of Geosciences at The University of Texas at Austin.

• The mission of the Texas Water Journal is to provide peer-reviewed water science and policy for Texas. The vision of the Texas Water Journal is to be the definitive source on Texas water. The Texas Water Journal started as a gleam in our eyes back in 2006. We saw the need for a widely-available journal specifically focused on Texas water and were enamored with the concept of non-profit open-sourced journaling. We created the Texas Water Journal to:
• Provide greater access to information on Texas water; for example, the Texas Water Journal is free and the articles can be distributed, posted, and printed with the proper attribution included;
• Provide more timely access to information on Texas water; for example, Texas Water Journal articles are posted and distributed as they are completed — there is no delay as often occurs for a print publication when a full slate of articles must be completed before an edition can be printed and distributed; and
• Eliminate unnecessary barriers to publication, such as limits on the frequency of publications by the most productive authors.
  The Texas Water Journal is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The Texas Water Journal is governed by a voluntary board of directors.
