Watershed Hydrology and Water Quality: Emerging Environmental Issues and Novel Modeling Techniques

Dear Colleagues,

In the past two decades, there have been significant advances in computer modeling tools and technology that improved our understanding of hydrological processes and water quality transport at hillslope, catchment, and watershed scales. This resulted in better management of natural resources and targeted implementation of conservation practices in many regions of the world. Special considerations have been given to the evaluation of climate variability and extremes in the agro- and socio-economic sectors. In this Special Issue, we invite submissions that incorporate watershed scale studies on hydrologic and nutrient processes with innovative approaches to solve environmental problems and novel applications of modern technology. This  Special Issue will cover research on the impacts of climate change on watershed hydrology (surface, subsurface, groundwater) and water quality (nutrients, pesticide, bacteria, etc.). Studies of emerging environmental issues at watershed scale that require novel modeling approaches, development of new tools, or improvement of the existing models are especially welcome.

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.
