About This Journal
The Journal of the American Water Resources Association (JAWRA) publishes original research that examines the multidisciplinary and complex issues surrounding water resources.
Papers often cover the topics of recent AWRA conferences such as riparian ecology, geographic information systems, adaptive management, and water policy.

In-stream sensor results suggest soil-plant processes produce three distinct seasonal patterns of nitrate in the Ohio River Basin
Nitrate sensing stations and land cover for the Ohio River Basin. The Ohio River flows from east to west. The Ohio River Basin increases in cropland cover (corn and soybean) from east to west. Ironton, OH is the upper nitrate sensor site on the main stem, Cannelton, IN is a mid-river site, and Olmsted, IL is the station just upstream of the junction with the Mississippi River. Nitrate sensors used in this study and their sub-basins are indicated throughout.
Identifying stream temperature variation by coupling meteorological, hydrological and water temperature models
Comparison of historical (1950-2010) and future (2020-2069) water temperatures in the MRB.
Change of Stream Network Connectivity under Polder-Type Flood Control Measure
Land use and imperviousness of each subbasin
A Lidar-Based Assessment of Riparian Shade and Large Wood Potential in the Skagit River Watershed, WA.
Area of riparian stands by height/distance ratio and land use. Commercial and federal forests have larger areas and proportionally more functional riparian zones than in agricultural zones or urban growth areas.
Depressional Runoff Cascade Networks of the Des Moines Lobe of Iowa
Depressions within the DML-IA contributing runoff to off-network areas under various precipitation amounts applied uniformly over the region, neglecting infiltration or other abstractions (Case 1). Depressions that export runoff to off-network areas for a uniform depth of precipitation of 20 mm under the assumptions of Case 1 comprise 22.3% of the total area of the region. This percentage increases rapidly with increasing precipitation depth.
