Climate Change and Water Resources II

Dear Colleagues,

Global warming resulting from elevated greenhouse gas concentrations is creating hydrologic intensification and worsening extreme events in many parts of the world. Linking changes in climate to flows in natural and engineered hydrologic systems and the risk of extremes is difficult, given the spatiotemporal mismatches between watersheds and the processes well resolved by global and regional models. Adaptation to climate change is necessary in the context of high water demand from agriculture, urban, energy, and other economic sectors, as well as ecologic needs and biodiversity conservation.

This Special Issue invites contributions (including original research, reviews, tutorials, and practice guidelines) in any of the following areas or related ones:

• Trends in hydroclimate and surface water and groundwater flows and stocks, including extremes, and their attribution.
• Climate information for managing risk in water resources, including nowcasting/early warning, forecasting at synoptic, seasonal, and interannual timeframes, and scenario generation for resilience.
• Impact of climate change on water supplies for human and natural systems.
• Management strategies for water in a changing climate, including community involvement and justice and equity concerns.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
