Climate Change Impacts on Hydrology and Water Resources Management

Dear Colleagues,

Climate change is one of the main challenges facing humanity in the 21st century, particularly through its impacts on water resources. It is already having a measurable effect on the water cycle, altering the amount, distribution, timing, and quality of available water. An integrated view of water and environmental flows is required to devise sustainable economic systems that will allow us to decelerate climate change, protect us from extremes and to adapt to the unavoidable at the same time.

This Special Issue seeks research papers related to the impacts of climate change on water resources, including availability and distribution of rainfall, snowmelt, river flows and groundwater, and further deteriorate water quality. Papers using spatial scales and methodological approaches (statistical, physical, GCMs, downscaling, hydrological modeling, etc.) to understand the water balance in changing climate as well as impacts of climate change on floods, droughts, and water management are also of interests.

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2500 CHF (Swiss Francs).
