Scope/Description:

Asia as a whole region faces severe stress on water availability primarily due to high population density. Many regions of the continent face severe problems of water pollution on local as well as regional scale and these have to be tackled with a panAsian approach. However the available literature on the subject is generally based on research done in Europe and North America. Therefore there is an urgent and strong need for an Asian journal with its focus on the region and wherein the region specific problems are addressed in an intelligent manner.In Asia besides water there are several other issues related to environment such as global warming and its impact intense landuse and shifting pattern of agriculture issues related to fertilizer applications and pesticide residues in soil and water and solid and liquid waste management particularly in industrial and urban areas. Asia is also a region with intense mining activities whereby serious environmental problems related to landuse loss of top soil water pollution and acid mine drainage are faced by various communities.Essentially Asians are confronted with environmental problems on many fronts. Many pressing issues in the region interlink various aspects of environmental problems faced by population in this densely habited region in the world. Pollution is one such serious issue for many countries since there are many transnational water bodies that spread the pollutants across the entire region. Water environment and pollution together constitute a three axial problem that all concerned people in the region would like to focus on.
