Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Although adaptation measures to climate change have been developed at the national level, there are still gaps related to their implementation to local watershed management. The recent increased severity of water-related disasters may be related to changes in the spatial and temporal variation of precipitation. To implement adaptation measures to mitigate flood and drought disasters, a real-time combination of dense rain gauge networks and remote observation systems of precipitation is essential. The establishment of an online database system enabling public access to all long-term historical data would accelerate not only hydrometeorological studies but also various artificial intelligence applications.
The aim of this Special Issue is to gather both recent scientific research and application to society in terms of rainfall observation and watershed management as a measure of adaptation to climate change.
