Scope

The Water Quality Research Journal of Canada (published by the Canadian Association on Water Quality, CAWQ) publishes peer-reviewed, scholarly articles on the following general subject areas:

• Impact of contaminants on aquatic ecosystems
• Contributions of pollutants from the gas and solid phases to aquatic systems
• Drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater treatment technologies and strategies
• Exotic species, biodiversity, and aquatic species at risk
• Groundwater remediation
• Assessment of surface and subsurface water quality
• Regulations, strategies, and policies related to water pollution
• Conservation and protection of aquatic environments
• Social science issues in relation to water quality
• Review articles on all aspects of water quality and pollution control

The Water Quality Research Journal of Canada is a quarterly publication. It is meant to be a forum for original research dealing with the aquatic environment. Articles from outside of Canada are welcome provided that they are of interest to the Canadian water quality research community.

Preprint Online Publication

To allow for timely exposure of accepted manuscripts and with Author permission, we post papers online that are ready for printing before the entire issue is ready for publication. These papers may or may not have page numbers added, can be found in our latest "Current Issue," and are accessible in full to all members of the CAWQ; the abstracts can be viewed by anyone. Once all manuscripts for an issue are complete, any missing page numbers will be added and the issue will be finalized. As soon as the first paper for the next issue is ready, a new "Current Issue" will be started.

The Water Quality Research Journal of Canada has moved to an online submission and peer review platform. All manuscripts must now be submitted online at http://www.editorialmanager.com/wqrjc.

Canadian Association on Water Quality

The Canadian Association on Water Quality (CAWQ) was established as a voluntary not-for-profit organization in 1967 as a collection of individuals from industry, government and academia who were interested in water treatment and pollution control. Since that time, the organization has evolved to include engineers, scientists and managers who are directly involved in issues surrounding water quality. The objectives of the CAWQ are to:

• promote research on the scientific, technological, legal, and administrative aspects of water quality and the control and treatment of water pollution;
• further the exchange of information and practical application of such research for the public benefit; and
• promote the goals and objectives of the International Water Association (IWA).

The activities of the CAWQ include, but are not limited to publishing the Water Quality Research Journal of Canada.
