Tackling Complex Water Problems in China under Changing Environment

Dear Colleagues,

Environmental changes have brought about significant changes and challenges to water resources and management in China. These include increasing climate variability, land use change, intensive agriculture, and rapid urbanization and industrial development, all of which greatly affect water quantity, water quality, and hydro-ecology. These effects have been found in many regions around the world. In China, water problems caused by human activities and environmental changes are becoming more and more serious and complicated, making water resources management more difficult. This Special Issue aims to assemble contributions on understanding of and solutions to the problems. We welcome contributions that use field observations, experimental data, and numeric modeling to analyze complexity and uncertainty of water resources in China, across land and waterscapes.
