Virtual Special Issue: Impact of Climate Change on Hydrology and Water Resources

The impact of climate change on water resources is a research area that is gaining prominence over time. Related research topics in this direction are the prediction of rainfall, temperature, streamflow/discharge, and other meteorological variables.

A special issue on the theme Impact of Climate Change on Hydrology and Water Resources is initiated to help researchers and other relevant stakeholders working in this area. This issue deals with estimation of runoff, floods and droughts, intensity-duration frequency (IDF) curves and evapotranspiration (ET). In addition, some of the miscellaneous topics related to hydrology are also part of the Special Issue
