Hydrologic System Analysis, Patterns, and Predictions for Arid and Semi-arid Environment

Dear Colleagues,

Understanding hydrologic systems in arid and semi-arid environments, as well as the systems’ patterns and behaviors, is critical not only in getting insights on the fluxes of water and energy at various spatiotemporal scales of interest, but also for planning and managing water resources. Basin response patterns and behaviors are dependent on hydro-climatic settings, and, thus, need to be addressed using innovative approaches and new sets of better data from various sources. This Special Issue invites authors to contribute new and original research findings that are capable of adding new knowledge to the effort of understanding hydrologic systems, patterns, behaviors and tools of hydrological predictions. Studies utilizing multi-source, multi-scale hydrological data sources including data assimilation, remote sensing, field and laboratory data capable of answering scale-dependent hydrologic questions in water-limited environment are encouraged.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Water is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
