Water-Energy Nexus is an interdisciplinary peer-reviewed academic journal established by KeAi, a joint venture subsidiary of Science Press and Elsevier. The journal's research scope encompasses effective conversion in water-energy and wastewater treatment and distribution, water transport-treatment-distribution, wastewater collection-treatment-safe discharge, water energy extraction-production, and related areas of study. Water-Energy Nexus publishes original papers on physical, chemical, biological, and environmental processes, covering the management of engineering and water-energy relationships. This includes, but is not limited to, experimental, theoretical, and managerial approaches in science and engineering strategies, as well as issues related to water and energy in processing. The journal is now officially indexed in the EI Compendex database in the American engineering industry and the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) in Sweden.
