Recent Research Developments in Hydrological Modelling, Climate Change, and Water Resource Management

Dear Colleagues,

Runoff undergoes a significant number of changes under the background of impact of climate change and human activities, leading to it serious effects on water resources in the river basin. Recently, water-related issues have become frequently debated topics between scholars around the world. Runoff is a vital medium in each stage of the water cycle, and it is the key factor in the process of hydrological modelling. Qualitatively and quantitatively analyzing the runoff is helpful in terms of understanding water resources’ evolution with the aim of achieving benefits and avoiding harmful effects under the background of global climate change. In addition, the hydrological model is regarded as a powerful tool for simulating runoff, and it is crucial to investigate the hydrological model and gain a full understanding water resources for water resource management. In modern runoff forecasting, hydrological response to climate change and human activities, eco-hydrological process simulation, water resources planning and management, and even in the mechanism analysis of drought disaster-forming, the hydrological model is widely used. This Special Issue is focused on exploring research developments as regards the theory, methodology and discovery involved in hydrological modeling, climate change, water resource management, drought evaluation, hydrological uncertainty, river health assessment, water environment protection. This Special Issue’s aim is to emphasize the effects observed in the hydrological cycle and social economy under the background of global warming, water shortage and human influence on land surface.

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-blind 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.
