Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water resources’ shortage, especially freshwater availability, is a critical issue for human beings and the sustainable development of the economy and society. In recent decades, the hydrological cycle and water resources’ system has been extensively influenced by climate change and anthropogenic activities. This has led to significant changes in water resources and hydrology, thereby enhancing the water shortage problem in some regions. Furthermore, global warming will continue in the next 30–50 years. Scientists must keep an eye on issues regarding climate change and water.
This Special Issue aims to discuss the impact of climate change and anthropogenic activities on water resources and hydrology, including but not limited to: changes in hydrology and water resources at a regional or global scale, the response of the hydrological cycle to climate change, impacts of land use, irrigation, reservoir, and other anthropogenic activities on water resources, hydrological modeling under changing environment, future water resources projection with GCMs and hydrological models, etc.
We are pleased to invite you to submit new scientific findings to this Special Issue and improve our understanding of climate change and water. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
