Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The sustainability of water systems worldwide is a first level topic largely due to the current high degree of threat due to Climate Change and overexploitation. Furthermore, the intrinsic nature of hydrological processes, characterized by uncertainty, randomness and variability that Climate Change intensifies it, makes that the sustainability of waters systems to be a very complex matter to be effectively reached. The fact that the real and effective inclusion of those features on hydrological modelling is still a not accomplished challenge makes that the development of stochastic approaches to be essential. In the last decades, stochastic model-based approaches have strongly emerged in the development of hydrological models because of the significant advance in computer science. Spatial, temporal as well as combined analysis of dimensions are welcome through different existing powerful techniques. This special issue is mainly aimed to provide innovative approaches aimed to better-characterized and quantified water systems sustainability in a changing context. For that, welcomed papers will contain methods and approaches that are able to deal with the aforementioned hydrological features as well as ways of mitigation/adaptation strategies for coping Climate Change.
