About us

Published by the Mexican Institute of Water Technology, Water Technology and Sciences (Tecnología y Ciencias del Agua) is a highly specialized journal that reflects two key characteristics:

  • The interdisciplinary nature of its articles and notes.

  • The international scope of its authors, editors, reviewers, and readers.

It continues the legacy of previous journals: Irrigación en México (1930–1946); Ingeniería Hidráulica en México (1947–1971); Recursos Hidráulicos (1972–1978); and Ingeniería Hidráulica en México, second period (1985–2009).

The journal is aimed at researchers, academics, and professionals interested in finding solutions to water-related problems.

Its contents are interdisciplinary and include previously unpublished articles and notes that provide original scientific and technological contributions. These works are developed within fields of knowledge related to:

  • Water and energy

  • Water quality

  • Hydro-agricultural sciences

  • Political and social sciences

  • Water management

  • Hydrology

  • Hydraulics

The journal is governed by a rigorous peer-review process, which requires each work to be independently evaluated by three reviewers. This process involves top-level experts, nationally and internationally recognized in their fields, who are capable of reliably and efficiently assessing both the quality and originality of the submitted contributions, as well as the degree of scientific and technological innovation presented.

Approximately 50% of its authors are affiliated with foreign institutions, from countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, Spain, the United States, France, Greece, Italy, Peru, Portugal, Uruguay, and Venezuela, among others.

The journal is indexed in several national and international databases and abstracts. It appears in the Journal Citation Reports and the SJR Scimago Journal & Country Rank of Scopus, as well as in the Mexican Catalogue of Science and Technology Journals (Catálogo de Revistas Mexicanas de Ciencia y Tecnología) of the National Council of Science and Technology.

The journal has an Editorial Board composed of an Editor-in-Chief, several subject editors, a technical secretary, and an editorial coordinator, all from both national and international institutions. The Board’s role is to oversee the journal and ensure its quality and excellence as a medium for disseminating knowledge related to water resources.

Its Editorial Committee is made up of distinguished experts in various fields of science and technology, from Mexico and abroad. It currently includes 82 members from 15 countries.

Water Technology and Sciences is published bimonthly.
