The STRATI Journal of Water Policy and Economics welcomes original papers from academicians, researchers and practitioners alike, and particularly encourages submissions that draw on policy-oriented theoretical and empirical research focusing on water resources and the rural and urban economy, climate change, and human health and well-being. The focus of the STRATI Journal of Water Policy and Economics is on water demand for residential, agricultural, manufacturing, and environmental uses, conflicting water demands and managing risks from climate change, drought, and depleted water tables, temporal drinking water scarcity, pricing policies and market-based and regulatory approaches to urban water conservation.
The papers should generally be 6000-8000 words with abstract of not more than 200 words, though more substantial papers will be considered. The contributions to STRATI Journal of Water Policy and Economics reflect the interdisciplinary emphasis, which is fundamental to the journal. The papers will be double-blind refereed using an appropriate cross-section of reviewers drawn from the target interests. The journal aims for a turn-around time of three months from submission to publication to ensure rapid dissemination and dynamic discussion of ideas and results. The Editor, therefore, welcomes early contact prior to submission of manuscripts with, for example, an abstract. Book reviews are also included.
STRATI Journal of Water Policy and Economics will be of interest to academicians, researchers and practitioners working in interdisciplinary fields across the social, natural and engineering sciences, policy and decision makers in national and local government and relevant agencies, and non-governmental organisations. The Editorial Board provides a unique mix of expertise from both the academic community and a full range of interested parties.
