JAWRA: Fifty‐five Years of Sustained Contributions for Improved Water Resources Management — The Third Decade (1985–1994).

The author reflects on the contributions of the "Journal of the American Water Resources Association" for improved water resources management. Topics discussed include an early spreadsheet model for modeling nonpoint source pollution presented by J. F. Walker et al in 1989, the journal's effort to bridge the gap between fundamental research and application needs, and growth in both spatial information and remote-sensing technologies from 1985-1994.
