Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Global warming can alter the hydrological cycle in various forms such as increased cloudiness and latent heat fluxes, leading to more intensive and frequent precipitation extreme events (e.g., droughts, storms, and floods). These extreme events have received increased attention in the past few decades because of the associated economic loss, deaths, and many other severe consequences for human society. Climate change can also cause significant shifts in the spatial and temporal patterns of precipitation, bringing many unprecedented challenges for water resources management at regional and local scales. In addition to these common hydrological challenges, coastal communities are further threatened by rising sea level and increasing storm surge and erosion. Adapting to these challenges requires a thorough understanding of the potential impacts of climate change from a long-term and systematic perspective.
This Special Issue focuses on the latest research advances in hydroclimate, coastal hydrology, hydrological extremes, and sustainable water resources management. Research topics may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Climate change modeling;
- Climate downscaling;
- Hydroclimate modeling;
- Flood modeling;
- Hydrological cycle;
- Hydrological extremes (e.g., droughts, storms, and floods);
- Coastal hydrological challenges (e.g., sea level rise, coastal erosion, and storm surge);
- Water resources monitoring and management;
- Sustainable irrigation.

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 papers will be 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 2000 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.
