Water Power and Water Safety is a peer-reviewed, international and interdisciplinary open access journal, jointly sponsored by the China Society for Hydropower Engineering and Huazhong University of Science and Technology. It focuses on the scientific problems, key technologies and applications concerning the safe and efficient utilization of hydropower energy and the safeguarding of water security. Addressing the global challenges of the transition to carbon neutrality, energy security, and flood control and disaster mitigation, the journal is aiming to report first-class original papers and top reviews in this field, to promote interdisciplinary research on the coordinated development of water, energy, ecology and sustainability, and to build an open and efficient international academic communication platform.
This journal contains four sections:
Section A (Hydrology and Water Resources): This section focuses on watershed hydrological processes and water resources science under a changing environment. It reports new theories and methods of hydrological monitoring, simulation and forecasting, the assessment, allocation, as well as the latest findings on the evolution of the water cycle under the combined impacts of climate change and human activities.
Section B (Safe and Efficient Utilization of Hydropower Energy): This section focuses on the efficient development and safe utilization of water energy resources. It reports the optimal operation of hydropower energy systems, the intelligent scheduling and multi-objective decision-making of cascade reservoir systems, the regulating and supporting role of hydropower in new-type power systems, and the carbon sink effects and low-carbon benefit assessment of hydropower development.
Section C (Flood Safety and Risk Prevention): This section focuses on the identification, early warning and response of water security risks. It reports original research on extreme flood forecasting and early warning, risk chain analysis of cascade reservoir systems, flood propagation modelling, water security risk prevention and control, and emergency decision support, serving watershed flood control, disaster mitigation and public safety.
Section D (Water-Energy-Ecology Interdisciplinary Frontiers): This section focuses on the innovative application of interdisciplinary approaches and emerging technologies in this field. It reports theoretical exploration and engineering practice in the ecological impacts and restoration of hydropower development, integrated wind-solar-hydro-storage and multi-energy complementary systems, digital twin watersheds, artificial intelligence, and big data.
