The current state of global hydrological systems experiences rapid changes, which result from climate variability and human activities. The call for papers invites researchers to study how current dynamic pressures impact water resource management at both regional and basin-level water systems.
Climate change enables water extremes, which include floods, droughts and water-quality degradation through its effects on precipitation patterns, rising temperatures and extreme weather events. Human activities, which include urbanisation, building reservoirs and expanding agriculture and extracting groundwater, have created new pressures that change natural hydrological systems’ flow patterns and storage capacities.
This call for paper on hydrological change research highlights the need for combining hydrological science with ecological, social, and policy perspectives. This special issue presents advanced research that develops scientific knowledge while offering real-world solutions to existing problems.
This special issue invites researchers from different fields to study Climate impact on regional water systems and how environmental factors and human activities interconnect with each other.
Researchers are encouraged to submit studies that:
The growing complexity of hydrological processes necessitates a transition from traditional methods, which use static systems, to operational systems that function in real-time.
Researchers should investigate the relationship between climate impacts on Regional hydrological change and the associated socio-economic factors, governance systems and technological developments. The organisation values contributions that generate practical solutions that support decision-making and help achieve sustainable outcomes.
The submission process requires candidates to submit their work, which may address the following research areas.
The special issue needs academic research that demonstrates exceptional quality and scientific methods that fulfil established publishing standards. Our support services help researchers enhance their work by:
