Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The consequences of agricultural activities can be seen in streams, reservoirs and groundwater. These impacts continue as demand and uncertainty intensify worldwide. Hydrology and water management in agricultural landscapes are complex and are supported by multidisciplinary efforts. These studies require large amounts of spatial and temporal data from many sectors. The scientific community has responded by advancing critical aspects of water movement, distribution, and quality. These advancements have been achieved by developing hydrologic models, understanding soil/plant/evapotranspiration dynamics, creating in situ observation networks, and improving remote sensing methods, to name a few.
For this Special Issue, “Hydrology and Water Management in Agricultural Landscapes”, we invite authors to submit research that demonstrates advancements in hydrology and water management methods, especially those that address water quality and quantity following the expansion of conservation practices.
Contributions are solicited from basic science to addressing the following subject areas:
- Hydrologic modeling for accounting and forecasting;
- Sediment and nutrient transport off agricultural landscapes;
- Surface and subsurface drainage;
- Climate resiliency in agricultural landscapes;
- Cultivated soil health;
- Conservation practices’ effectiveness and expansion;
- Storm water and waste water management;
- Wetlands and impoundments on the landscape;
- Remote sensing and GIS uses in agricultural landscapes;
- In situ monitoring and observation networks;
- Data mining and assimilation.

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.
