Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Global warming and regional climate change have greatly affected the water cycle and hydrological processes and, thus, pose significant challenges to the management of water resources. A thorough understanding of how climate change affects hydrology and water resources is crucial to all natural and socioeconomic systems. Changes of historical and future climate, as well as the related hydrological effects, have been extensively studied. However, knowledge about some issues, such as the interaction mechanism of climate and hydrological processes and the uncertainties in future climate change and water resources, still require further investigation. This Special Issue aims to present the latest evidence of the impacts of climate change on hydrology and water resources. We would like to invite submissions in a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) observed changes in hydrology and water resources at a regional or global scale; (ii) mechanism of climate-related hydrological process and hydrological effects of climate change; (iii) future hydrological projection under different climate change scenarios; (iv) risk management of climatical and hydrological extreme events; (v) new methodologies or modelling tools in climate change and hydrology; (vi) uncertainty in climate projections and hydrologic modelling; and (vii) mitigation and adaptation measures for water resources under the changing climate. Both original research articles and reviews are strongly encouraged.

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.
