Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Global climate change will severely impact the traditional hydrological cycle, the impacts of which are already being observed in many parts of the world. Ever-increasing emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas (GHG) are causing an increase in global average temperature. An increase in temperature will directly affect evaporation and rainfall, which subsequently will affect catchment runoff and groundwater storage. Climate scientists are currently providing several projection scenarios based on level of GHG emissions in future years. On one hand, different global bodies and authorities are trying to minimize the GHG emissions through different novel sustainable measures. However, the level of implementations is not the same across the globe, and many regions/countries are not capable of adopting higher-level sustainable features due to high initial costs. Even with very high implementations of sustainable features, it will not be possible to avert impending global warming due to very high concentrations of GHGs that are already accumulated in the atmosphere. As such, different authorities are investigating potential adaptation measures against consequences of climate adversities, almost of all of which are hydrological variables. As in-depth experimental works with such climate-related parameters are often very expensive, tedious and time consuming, the scientific community prefers to develop mathematical models to assess the consequences of different hydrological parameters on other dependent variables (i.e., output parameters), such as catchment runoff, flood level, evaporation, groundwater level, reservoir level, concentrations of different pollutants and many more. There are two major types of mathematical models: stochastic and deterministic. Both are necessary depending on the need, and with the advancement of computational power as well as underlying theories, such models are capable of providing accurate estimations of those dependent variables. Based on such estimations, authorities rely on formulating their strategic plans. This Special Issue of Hydrology will focus on such modelling efforts, which are likely to produce benefits for stakeholders dealing with the above-mentioned variables. The Special Issue will cover, but is not limited, to the following main themes, as well as related themes:
- Statistical modelling of rainfall;
- Long-term seasonal rainfall/streamflow forecasting;
- Deterministic modelling for runoff;
- Deterministic modelling of river/creek and ground water level;
- Statistical modelling of runoff;
- Statistical methods for catchment water quality estimations;
- Statistical methods for river/stream water quality estimations;
- Deterministic modelling of river/stream water quality estimations;
- Deterministic models for reservoir water quality simulations;
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning for all the above-mentioned topics.

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. Hydrology is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 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.
