Modeling and Analysis of Hydrological Responses to Climate Change or Variability

Dear Colleagues,

This special issue focuses on advancing our understanding of the response of hydrological systems to the escalating impacts of climate change on global water quantity and quality. Clean freshwater, essential for human health, economic development, and ecological stability, is facing unprecedented challenges. We call for contributions whose primary emphasis is on addressing uncertainties arising from the increasing non-stationarity of weather patterns and hydrological variables, as well as studies focussing on the responses to the growing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, particularly floods and droughts. Human-induced alterations in hydrological processes driven by climate change are another challenge that reduce our ability to anticipate hydrological responses accurately.

This special issue seeks contributions to improve our understanding of hydrological systems in the face of these challenges, calling for integrated investigations across all domains of water research, including surface and groundwater hydrology, ecohydrology, water management, and water governance. Authors are encouraged to propose innovative methodologies and present findings that contribute to improve the present capability to grasp the complex dynamics of hydrological systems in response to natural and anthropogenic climate variability and climate change.

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. 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.
