Editors

• The co-Editors-in-Chief are Gabriele Villarini of Princeton University in the United States and Graham C. Sander of Loughborough University in the United Kingdom现任共同主编为（Gabriele Villarini）与（Graham C. Sander），前者任职于美国普林斯顿大学，后者任职于英国拉夫堡大学。
• Villarini works in Princeton's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the High Meadows Environmental Institute, and his research concerns hydrology, floods and climate extremes（Gabriele Villarini）任职于普林斯顿大学土木与环境工程系及高梅多斯环境研究所，研究水文学、洪水与气候极端事件。
• Sander is a professor of computational mathematics at Loughborough University whose work concerns computational hydraulics and shallow water flows（Graham C. Sander）是拉夫堡大学计算数学教授，其研究涉及计算水力学与浅水流动。
• An international editorial board and associate editors support the two editors in chief国际编委会与副编辑协助两位共同主编工作。
• The board spans hydrology, fluid mechanics, porous media and water resources engineering编委会覆盖水文学、流体力学、多孔介质与水资源工程。
• Manuscripts undergo peer review before acceptance稿件在接受前须经过同行评审。
• Reviewers assess whether the work advances fundamental understanding rather than reporting a local case study or an engineering application审稿人评估研究是否增进基本理解，而非仅报告局部案例或工程应用。
• They consider the soundness of the theoretical, computational or experimental approach and the significance of the results for water resources systems他们考察理论、计算或实验方法的可靠性，以及结果对水资源系统的意义。
• The editorial team handles submissions from hydrologists, engineers and earth scientists worldwide编辑团队处理来自全球水文学家、工程师与地球科学家的稿件。
• It serves universities, research institutes and water resource organisations that work on the physics and mathematics of water systems该刊服务于研究水系统物理与数学问题的高校、研究所与水资源机构。
