Stochastic Modeling in Hydrology

Dear Colleagues,

Since their advent in hydrology over a half-century ago, stochastic models have become an important tool in solving many important issues in hydrology, including system simulation, filling in missing data, real-time and extended hydrologic forecasting, synthetic data generation for the evaluation of management scenarios, downscaling climate variables, and so forth. Growing public awareness of climate change and other significant sources of hydrologic non-stationarity additionally highlights the importance of stochastic hydrology. Increasing recognition of the non-stationary nature of hydrologic phenomena in recent decades gives an additional impetus for developing and implementing nonstationary stochastic methods in hydrology and associated fields.

This Special Issue invites innovative contributions in the field of stochastic hydrology and related fields. Multidisciplinary manuscripts encompassing stochastic hydrology and other fields, including but not limited to hydroclimatology, nonstationary modeling, soft computing, and geospatial analysis, are particularly welcome. Applied stochastic hydrology studies are encouraged, including hydrologic system simulation and optimization; water quality and quantity forecasting in rivers, streams, and lakes; analysis of the effects of climate projections; and frequency analysis of hydrologic extremes.

New ideas and insightful applications from your contributions will help us familiarize the Water readership with the present research trends and trace future research directions in theoretical and applied stochastic analysis in hydrology.

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.
