Researchers can now read scientific articles on drinking water treatments for free in the online DWES journal. The aim of this joint initiative of TU Delft and UNESCO-IHE is to increase accessibility to scientific publications, especially for researchers in developing countries.
Drinking Water Engineering and Science aims to be the leading scientific open access journal for the publication of original research in drinking water treatment.
The focus is on fundamental and applied research in water sources, substances, drinking water treatment processes, distribution systems and residual management.
Drinking Water Engineering and Science serves scientists from universities and research institutes and engineers from water supply companies and engineering consulting firms.
Every issue will contain at least one paper on drinking water in developing countries. A fund will be established to give authors from developing countries the opportunity to publish their work.
