Hydrological Modelling for the Sustainable Management of Water Resources in River Basins

Dear Colleagues,

Natural disasters from hydrometeorological extremes and water scarcity, as well as human pressures such as intensive agriculture, can affect the quantity and quality of surface and groundwater resources in river basins. As a result, ecosystem services connected to human benefits, such as the provision of drinking and irrigation water, the regulation of floods, and cultural services, may be disturbed. To preserve them, water and river basin authorities are relying more and more on valuable tools such as conceptual and physically based hydrological models in order to propose cost-effective management strategies to minimize impacts on the aquatic environment and on society. This Special Issue of Hydrology will showcase the state of the art in the adaptation and use of hydrological models on the catchment or river basin scale in different regions and for various purposes within the wider context of water resources and river basin management. We invite novel modelling articles that propose actions for tackling both natural and human pressures, preserving the environmental status of water bodies, and maintaining or improving the socio-economic status within regions. We hope that new methods/models will help us to celebrate progress in tackling real river basin problems and the possible further issues that require more focused research.

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.
