This year marks the start of the second quarter century of Advances in Water Resources (AWR). The quarter century volume featured an important celebratory issue authored by premier scholars working in fundamental aspects of water resources, which we believe makes important and enduring contributions to the field. As a part of this milestone, it is timely to examine the history and development of AWR. The purpose of this brief editorial is to summarize this history, and to take a brief look into the future.
AWR was started in 1977 by Professor George F. Pinder, then at Princeton University, and Professor Carlos A. Brebbia, University of Southampton, and featured an editorial board consisting of 14 international scholars from a variety of disciplines, all with an interest and expertise in fundamental aspects of water resources systems. AWR was initially published by CML Publications. Initially, the aims and scope of the journal was focused on the rapidly evolving area of numerical methods in water resources, although other fundamental work was published. At this time, the journal was published quarterly with a total of 356 pages in the first volume. During the next six years the journal continued to become established, publishing on average about 220 pages per volume.
