Manuscript Topics
Growing population and economic development pose immense pressure on the water and land resources. Land use and land cover (LULC) change and climate change are altering all components of the hydrological processes, such as surface water quality, groundwater recharge, droughts, floods, frost-freezes, and salinization and desertification. Water resources are vulnerable to LULC changes related to economic development under changing climate, particularly in developing countries. Making economic development more sustainable can enhance adaptive capacity to LULC change and climate change. Quantifying the impact of LULC change and climate change on hydrological processes and groundwater recharge is crucial to help achieve sustainable development. An integrated model of hydrological processes and surface and groundwater resources is attracting attention across the world for water resource management.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research topics may include (but not limited to) the following:
• Surface water and groundwater interactions
• Water resources and water quality
• Impacts of land use and land cover change on hydrological processes
• Impacts of climate change on water resources
• Groundwater resources and quality
• Groundwater recharge
• Hydrological modelling
• LULC modelling
• Process-based hydrological modelling
• Machine learning in modelling water resources or LULC change
