Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Affected by global climate change and rapid socio-economic development, China suffers from severe water security pressure, especially in terms of water shortages, flood disasters, and water-related ecological and environmental problems. The solution to these problems requires comprehensive research across different disciplines.
Focusing on discussing China’s water issues, we carried out a series of academic exchanges over a long period. The well-known “China Water Forum”, launched in 2003 and held annually, focuses on discussing solutions to China’s water issues. By 2024, the forum had been successfully held for 21 sessions. “Water Science Development Forum”, launched in 2007 and held annually, focuses on promoting the multidisciplinary integration of other disciplines with water science research. By 2024, the forum had been successfully held for 17 sessions. “Water Science Lectures”, launched in 2021, is an open, shared, and non-profit public welfare lecture. A report will be arranged for each lecture, which will be given and presided over by invited famous researchers.
The Editorial Department of Water Journal cooperates with “China Water Forum”, “Water Science Development Forum”, and “Water Science Lectures” to set up a series of columns. At least one column is planned each year currently. The column established in 2025 is “China Water Forum, 4th Edition”. We welcome scholars and graduate students participating in the above-mentioned conferences, as well as scholars who study water issues in China, to submit full texts of their unpublished manuscripts. The received papers will be professionally peer-reviewed and recommended for publication by the Editorial Board.
We invite submissions on, but not limited to, the following topics:
（1）Climate change and hydrology (Director: Dunxian She, Rong Gan);
（2）Water problems and human–water relationship control (Director: Zengliang Luo, Qiting Zuo);
（3）Water environment and ecology (Director: Fuqiang Wang, Jiaqi Zhai);
（4）Water information technology and modeling (Director: Lei Zou, Xiuyu Zhang).
