Hydrology and Water Resources in Agriculture and Ecology

A printed edition is available here.
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
The agricultural sector uses the largest amount of water, accounting for over 60% of all water consumption worldwide, and this proportion is even higher in arid and semiarid regions. Consequently, agricultural hydrological processes are complicated by the influences of both natural and anthropogenic factors. Moreover, with the increasing water requirements for domestic and industrial use, the availability of water for agriculture and natural ecosystem is decreasing, which is further intensified by climate change. A systemic study on hydrology and water resources in agriculture and ecology will provide a basis for agricultural water security and ecosystem security.
This Topic, “Hydrology and Water Resources in Agriculture and Ecology”, will cover the following fields: water–heat–salt–nutrients transport in the soil–plant–atmosphere continuum (SAPC); agro-hydrological modeling; evapotranspiration modeling in cropland and irrigation district scales; eco-hydrology; water-salt balance and non-point source contamination modeling in an irrigation district; highly efficient use of water resources for agriculture; interactions among water, agriculture, and natural ecosystems; and remote sensing application in agricultural and ecological hydrology.
