Impact of Climate Change on Virtual and Green Water Availability in Arid Regions
Virtual water is the amount of water used in industries as raw material, and Green Water is the volume of water utilized in agriculture. The availability of both of them is essential for the socio-economic development of any region. As arid areas are characterized by water scarcity, such places will be more vulnerable to climate change impacts. As these two types of water use are vital for the GDP of any region, maintaining a minimum water volume for the said purposes will be necessary. This Special Issue will accept original research works on the said problem and will publish the same after a thorough peer review and finding a practical solution from the article. Papers having UG students as one of the authors will be preferred.Last Date of Submission: 28th June 2023
Estimated Date of Publication: 28th Dec 2023

Flood Forecasting Models considering BIRR and Wildfire Impacts
Flood Forecasting Models: A flood forecasting model will typically comprise of a hydrological component in which flood discharges are estimated from rainfall measurements and forecasts, and a hydrodynamic component, in which the water levels along the entire river network are calculated.
Building-induced rainfall redistribution: Microtopography on the building roof direct the rainfall from roofs to the ground through the downspouts and transform the rainfall spatial distribution from plane to points. This is known as Building Induced Rainfall Redistribution(BIRR).
Wildfire Impacts: Ater or during a wildfire the unknowns associated with such events are its effects on vegetation and soil conditions that influence hydrologic processes including infiltration, surface runoff, erosion, sediment transport, and flooding. At the time of the development of the hydrologic models, such impacts need to be considered for more accurate predictions.
