Objectives
The main objective of IJHST is the promotion of hydrological science and technology through challenging traditional and conventional methods and publishing new methods in global, regional and national changing climates. IJHST covers the effects of urbanisation, agriculture, industry, forestry, etc., and the research undertaken and needed to better define their effects on water resources.
IJHST allows the viewpoints of cities, factories, farmers, fisheries, foresters, etc. to be brought together to answer questions about how technical problems are addressed and solved, and how management issues are decided between competing hydrological resources. IJHST aims to strengthen the partnerships between water scientists, engineers, geologists, chemists, biologists and the other disciplines to develop current hydrology methods. It helps define the knowledge that is required to make informed hydrological decisions.
Readership
IJHST provides a vehicle to help professionals, academics, researchers and policy makers to disseminate information and to learn from each other's work. Such a readership will be working in the field of hydrological technology management, science, engineering and business education as surface hydrologists, groundwater hydrologists, hydrometeorologists, hydrogeologists, agrometeorologists, environmental scientists, physical geographers, agricultural hydrologists, ecohydrologists, river engineers, environmental geologists, hydroecologists, civil engineers and environmental statisticians.

Line and weir
12 March, 2025
New insights into the design and performance of combined weir-gate hydraulic structures, a crucial component of modern water-management systems, are discussed in the International Journal of Hydrology Science and Technology. Weir-gate hybrid structures merge the functions of a traditional weir and a sluice gate and are now being widely used to regulate water flow, control flood risks, and aid in flow measurement. Noor I. Khattab, Azza N. Altalib, and Arwa A. Mullah of the University of Mosul, Mosul, Iraq, have now looked at a novel design for such structures, which incorporates a triangular shape with interior angles that can range from 60 to 180 degrees. Their findings explain how the configuration of these structures impacts their efficiency in managing water flow [...]
