Hydrology Research Special Issue on
Flood Catastrophes in a Changing Environment
Flooding is a natural disaster that causes severe losses and damage across the world. Recent studies indicate that the frequency of flooding might increase under future climate conditions. In addition, human activities such as rapid urbanization and the construction of hydraulic engineering have significantly modified drainage networks, which further promotes flood risk. This is true in many large rivers and lakes, including the Yangtze River in China, and others around the world. Damage arising from flooding attracts serious attention from both governments and local communities.
This Special Issue of Hydrology Research aimed to provide a forum for researchers and managers to share their research outcomes on floods in typical areas around the world, prior to 2021.
