Streamflow/Runoff and Sediment Discharge Changes under Climate Change and Anthropogenic Activities

Dear Colleagues,

Rivers are major pathways for delivering water and sediment to oceans. The runoff and sediment discharges in rivers reflect the water resources and soil erosion in the basin. With climate change, land use, and other human activities, the ecological environment has undergone significant changes. This has led to significant changes in streamflow and sediment discharge in rivers and catchments around the world. Understanding the changes in runoff/streamflow and sediment discharge can help us to manage catchments or river basins, evaluate the effects of various factors on runoff/streamflow and sediment transport, and guiding the future protection of water resources and soil erosion. This Special Issue aims to invite contributions that explore the processes in, mechanisms of, and reasons for streamflow/runoff and sediment discharge changes under climate change and anthropogenic activities. Example topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Change processes for runoff/streamflow and sediment discharge in rivers or catchments;
• The impacts of climate change and anthropogenic activities on streamflow and sediment discharge;
• The feedback mechanism of runoff/streamflow and sediment discharge changes on the ecological environment;
• Changes in morphology and the ecological environment and its response to streamflow and sediment discharge in a river

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-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.
