Evaluation and Applications of Hydrologic Modeling in Catchment

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, “Evaluation and Applications of Hydrologic Modeling in Catchment”, focuses on advancing hydrological modeling techniques to assess and predict water resource dynamics in a changing environment. Climate change, land-use modifications, and anthropogenic activities are altering hydrological processes, impacting both water quantity and quality. Despite significant progress, challenges remain in accurately simulating key hydrological components such as precipitation, evapotranspiration, runoff, and extreme events.

This Special Issue invites high-quality research on innovative modeling techniques, including downscaling methods, hydrological simulations, and uncertainty assessments. Contributions exploring applications of hydrological models in regional and global contexts, particularly in relation to flood and drought prediction, ecosystem impacts, and hydropower sustainability, are highly encouraged. Research on the interactions between hydrological cycles and water quality—such as pollutant transport, sedimentation, and groundwater contamination—will also be considered. By bridging gaps in knowledge and improving simulation accuracy, this Special Issue aims to enhance the research framework for evaluating hydrological responses to climate change and environmental transformations.

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-anonymized 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.
