Such applications have used several different entropy formulations, such as Shannon, Tsallis, Reacutenyi Burg, Kolmogorov, Kapur, configurational, and relative entropies, which can be derived in time, space, or frequency domains. More recently, entropy-based concepts have been coupled with other theories, including copula and wavelets, to study various issues associated with environmental and water resources systems. Recent studies indicate the enormous scope and potential of entropy theory in advancing research in the fields of environmental and water engineering, including establishing and explaining physical connections between theory and reality. The objective of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for compiling important recent and current research on the applications of entropy theory in environmental and water engineering. The contributions to this Special Issue have addressed many aspects associated with entropy theory applications and have shown the enormous scope and potential of entropy theory in advancing research in the fields of environmental and water engineering.hydrological risk analysismodelingwater levelPoyang Lake basintrendcomposite multiscale sample entropyflood frequency analysiscanopy flowprecipitationwater resourcescomplex systemsfrequency analysisoptimizationcombined forecastneural network forecastentropy spectral analysis time series analysisenvironmental engineeringhydrometric networksea surface temperaturekernel density estimationrobustnessturbulent flowentropy productionconnection entropyflux concentration relationturbulencetropical rainfallgeneralized gamma (GG) distributionmulti-eventsEl Niñojoint entropyentropy weighting methodAnhui Provincechanging environmentcomplexitymultiplicative cascadesTsallis entropyHexi corridorcoherent structureswater resources vulnerabilityuncertaintyvariabilityflow entropyHei River basinfuzzy analytic hierarchy processsubstitutecrop yieldconditional entropy productionentropyflow duration curvemean annual runofftemperaturehydrometeorological extremesresilienceLoess Plateauinformation entropyscalingwater distribution networkscross entropyrandomnessforewarning modelentropy applicationsquaternary catchmentspatio-temporal variabilityprobability distribution functionant colony fuzzy clusteringradarcontinuous probability distribution functionsShannon entropyinformational entropyinformationconfidence intervalsmarginal entropyrainfall forecastentropy of informationstreamflowpower lawsbootstrap aggregatingmaximum entropy-copula methodspatial and dynamics characteristicprojection pursuitset pair analysisentropy theorywater resource carrying capacityentropy parameterprecipitation frequency analysisprinciple of maximum entropyinformation theorystochastic processesnetwork designcomplementcross elasticityclimacogrammethods of momentshydrologybaggingprinciple of maximum entropy (POME)rainfall networkentropy ensemble filterensemble model simulation criterionLagrangian functionBeta-Lognormal modelcross-entropy minimizationANNconfigurational entropyvariation of informationstatistical scalingEEF methodwater monitoringmaximum likelihood estimationGB2 distributionNDVIfour-parameter exponential gamma distributionhydraulicsspatial optimizationKolmogorov complexitybootstrap neural networksmutual informationaccelerating genetic algorithmgroundwater depthrainfalltropical Pacificwater engineeringmonthly streamflow forecastingENSOnonlinear relationBayesian techniquenon-point source pollutionBurg entropydata-scarcescaling lawssoil water contentarid regionland suitability evaluationinformation transferCui Huijuanauth1328942Sivakumar BellieauthSingh Vijay PauthBOOK9910346686803321Entropy Applications in Environmental and Water Engineering3039202UNINA
