Hydrological Processes in Agricultural Watersheds

Dear Colleagues,

Hydrological processes in agricultural watershed issues are often very challenging. The pressures on agricultural water resources are increasing with different scales of watershed development involving ecological, pedological and hydrological consequences in river basins and groundwater aquifers, and water environment deterioration.

All this leads to an increasing need to investigate the effects of different human activities and natural impacts on the hydrological processes; water environments such as land-use changes, climatic variability and climate change; and intensified water and fertilizer practices. Moreover economic, environmental, and social issues are considered more and more in water resource research. In this context, computer-based models can help to choose the right plans, designs, and policies to obtain the desired impacts.

In recent years, advances in computer techniques have allowed water scientists to develop complex models at different scales to support hydrological processes in agricultural watersheds.

This Special Issue is focused on recent advances in models and methods for agricultural watersheds.

This Special Issue will showcase manuscripts that link the following themes:

1. Watershed scale hydrological modeling;
2. Algorithms based on deep learning and machine learning;
3. Eco-hydrological modeling;
4. Pedo-hydrological processes;
5. Climate change impacts on watershed management;
6. Carbon–hydrological cycle;
7. Groundwater hydrology;
8. Pollutant transport and water quality assessment;
9. Parameter inversion.

We look forward to receiving your original research articles and reviews.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
