On February 29, 2024, according to EiCompendex, the English journal Water Cycle has been indexed in the EI database. Water Cycle is the official journal of the Water Treatment and Reuse Committee of the Chinese Society for Environmental Sciences (hereinafter referred to as the "Committee"). The founding editor-in-chief is Professor Hu Hongying, the director of the Committee and a professor at the School of Environment, Tsinghua University.

Water Cycle is jointly sponsored by the Committee of Water Treatment and Reuse, Chinese Society for Environmental Sciences, China Science Publishing & Media, and KeAi Publishing, a subsidiary of Elsevier. The journal aims to promote the interdisciplinary integration of water cycle and environmental engineering, water supply and drainage engineering, hydraulic engineering, water resources, water environment, water ecology, hydrology, geoscience, hydraulics, and meteorology. It strives to foster the rapid development of water cycle research, cultivate innovative concepts and technologies for the future water cycle systems, and support the sustainable utilization of water resources.

Since its inception in 2020, Water Cycle has adhered to the editorial philosophy of “providing useful information for the industry and leading the development of engineering science.” Its goals are to showcase China’s achievements in the water industry internationally, assist the Chinese water industry in going global, and provide advanced and practical lessons from abroad to Chinese water industry peers. The journal is committed to high quality and high standards, and its influence has steadily increased. Until now, it has been indexed in DOAJ, Scopus, and EiCompendex, and has been included in the “High-Quality Sci-Tech Journal Classification Directory in the Field of Environmental Science,” led by the Chinese Society for Environmental Sciences. It is also listed in the “World Journal Clout Index (WJCI) Report” (2023). The Cite Score of the journal in 2022 is 6.9, and the current Cite Score is 9.1, placing it in the Q1 quartile of multiple related disciplines.
