H1-Call for Papers: Hydrological Change and Water Extremes under Climate and Human Pressures at Regional Scales

Introduction

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.

Scope

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:

  • Investigate the hydrological patterns and changes which occur in rivers and groundwater and reservoirs
  • Examine how climate factors and human activities affect hydrological systems which control water sources
  • Conduct research on hydrological extremes which includes floods droughts and simultaneous flood and drought events
  • Investigate how land-use changes and urbanisation and infrastructure development affect water runoff and storage capacities
  • The study investigates how water quality responds to changing hydrological patterns while assessing environmental risks
  • The team creates new modeling methods which combine data analysis and scenario development techniques
  • The team creates adaptable water management solutions which protect water resources at the regional level.
  • Know More About This Issue

    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.

    Key Themes

    The submission process requires candidates to submit their work, which may address the following research areas.

  • The investigation focuses on both the factors that lead to hydrological changes and their resulting patterns in specific geographic areas.
  • The investigation examines how climate change affects water extremes, which include floods, Human pressures on hydrology, and their combined risks.
  • Human activities, which include urbanisation, irrigation and infrastructure development, create negative effects on hydrological systems.
  • The research investigates how climate change affects regional water systems and their future water supply.
  • The field of Hydrological extremes research has developed through advancements in research methods, modelling techniques, and predictive analytics.
  • The research field studies socio-hydrological systems to assess resilience and risk and develop adaptive management strategies.
  • The research focuses on developing sustainable water resource management through effective policy-making, governance and planning methods.
