Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A comprehensive understanding of climate change impacts on hydrological systems can provide guidance for water resources management under a changing environment. Furthermore, by investigating the behavior of watersheds under climate change, new knowledge about the fundamental dynamics of hydrological systems can be developed. In the era of Big Data, the availability of climatic and hydrological data is increasing rapidly across the world, which provide an opportunity for the hydrological scientific community to explore new relationships between hydrological regimes and climatic drivers. For instance, according to the Budyko framework, water partitioning from precipitation to runoff and evaporation in watersheds is primarily controlled by climate. Given continuous climate change, it is expected that hydrological systems will correspondingly evolve. This co-evolution process of climate and hydrological regimes needs to be systematically investigated.
This Special Issue aims to present the latest evidence of the co-evolutionary relationship between climate and hydrological systems. We invite authors to submit their research articles with topics related to the following key points:
- Comparison of hydrological processes across different climatic regions;
- Data-guided investigation of hydrological dynamics in watersheds under climate change;
- Hydrological models with representations of changing hydrological regimes, considering the impact of climate change.

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.
