Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the present direction of climate change, the trend of intensive precipitation events is increasing. The analysis of the impact of different rainfall regimes on runoff, (flash)floods, soil loss, and nutrient losses, especially with the recent tremendous increase in fertilizer prices, is highly important. In this way, we can prepare our agriculture for these new events.
Even countries with average or below-average rainfall intensities must be prepared for higher-intensity rainfall events. Using field measurements and modelling the impact of these increasing presipitation events highlight the magnitude of the problems.
The purpose of this Special Issue to provide good coverage of the effects of different rainfall regimes on extreme soil water erosion, flooding, and soil and nutrient loss in various regions of the world.
Several studies have previously addressed rainfall simulations in the field and in the laboratory, and also, several nomograms have been proposed to explain the effects of increased rainfall intensities, but new data and novel, innovative approaches will shed some light on the potential effects of these recent environmental issues.
We are looking forward to receiving articles related to research under different rainfall regimes from all the continents.
Best regards,
Prof. Dr. Csaba Centeri

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.
