Hydrology Research Special Issue on:

Advances in Eco-hydrology and Watershed Water Resources Management in China

The past decades have witnessed China's rapid economic development, urbanization and the improvement of people's well-being. The water shortages caused by population growth, water pollution and/or climate extremes (drought and flood), as well as the degradation of aquatic ecosystems, place pressure on the social development of the whole country. In order to fuel sustainable development, it is necessary and urgent to introduce feasible strategies and policies concerning effective water resources management.

The China Water Forum, organized by the China Society of Natural Resources, is one of the most useful platforms for scientists to discuss current water-related problems in China. The 17th China Water Forum hosted by Beijing Normal University (BNU), China, was held on 8‒10 November 2019.

The articles in this Special Issue were contributed by the participants who officially presented their academic achievements in the field of ‘Advances in Eco-hydrology and Watershed Water Resources Management in China’.
