Hydrology Research Special Issue on

Advances in Water Science Research

Over the past 100 years, issues related to insufficient water resources are becoming increasingly serious and are associated with the impacts of climate change and human activity. This added strain brings new challenges to the sustainable use of water resources and water management. As a subject, water science has gained increasing relevance in the last 20 years as it permeates all aspects of society, ecology, environment, resource utilization, national security and the economy. Accordingly, many new disciplines and research directions have derived from water science which has become a hot spot in academic research and scientific and technological application.

The China Water Forum (CWF) is the largest conference focused on water science. It is sponsored by the China Society of Natural Resources, to promote research, discussion, and resolution of issues related to hydrology, water resources, and the water eco-environment. Over 1000 professors, engineers, and graduate students from more than 100 universities or institutes attend the forum every year. The forum gathers almost all researchers who are interested in hydrology research and management of water resources and water eco-environment. This Special Issue was based on the 18th China Water Forum and achieved great success.
