Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate change is anticipated to have a profound impact on precipitation patterns worldwide. Regions already susceptible to heavy rainfall may face more frequent and severe flooding, while those accustomed to snowfall might encounter intensified and prolonged snowstorms. Moreover, alterations in atmospheric circulation patterns due to climate change could disrupt the distribution and timing of precipitation, potentially exacerbating drought conditions in certain areas and leading to shifts in seasonal precipitation patterns. These changes may carry extensive implications for water resource management, infrastructure resilience, ecosystem dynamics, and community vulnerability. Hence, this Special Issue endeavors to explore the intricate relationship between extreme precipitation events and the broader context of climate change. Topics of interest include extreme precipitation analysis, joint-probabilistic risks of compound events, climate model downscaling, bias correction of precipitation data, hydrological impacts of climate change, and other relevant topics. By delving into these themes, this Special Issue aims to advance our comprehension of extreme precipitation events within the framework of climate change, fostering interdisciplinary dialogue among researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to address these pressing concerns.

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.
