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.History of engineering and technologybicsscaccelerating genetic algorithmAnhui ProvinceANNant colony fuzzy clusteringarid regionbaggingBayesian techniqueBeta-Lognormal modelbootstrap aggregatingbootstrap neural networksBurg entropycanopy flowchanging environmentclimacogramcoherent structurescombined forecastcomplementcomplex systemscomplexitycomposite multiscale sample entropyconditional entropy productionconfidence intervalsconfigurational entropyconnection entropycontinuous probability distribution functionscrop yieldcross elasticitycross entropycross-entropy minimizationdata-scarceEEF methodEl Niñoensemble model simulation criterionENSOentropyentropy applicationsentropy ensemble filterentropy of informationentropy parameterentropy productionentropy spectral analysis time series analysisentropy theoryentropy weighting methodenvironmental engineeringflood frequency analysisflow duration curveflow entropyflux concentration relationforewarning modelfour-parameter exponential gamma distributionfrequency analysisfuzzy analytic hierarchy processGB2 distributiongeneralized gamma (GG) distributiongroundwater depthHei River basinHexi corridorhydraulicshydrological risk analysishydrologyhydrometeorological extremeshydrometric networkinformationinformation entropyinformation theoryinformation transferinformational entropyjoint entropykernel density estimationKolmogorov complexityLagrangian functionland suitability evaluationLoess Plateaumarginal entropymaximum entropy-copula methodmaximum likelihood estimationmean annual runoffmethods of momentsmodelingmonthly streamflow forecastingmulti-eventsmultiplicative cascadesmutual informationNDVInetwork designneural network forecastnon-point source pollutionnonlinear relationoptimizationpower lawsPoyang Lake basinprecipitationprecipitation frequency analysisprinciple of maximum entropyprinciple of maximum entropy (POME)probability distribution functionprojection pursuitquaternary catchmentradarrainfallrainfall forecastrainfall networkrandomnessresiliencerobustnessscalingscaling lawssea surface temperatureset pair analysisShannon entropysoil water contentspatial and dynamics characteristicspatial optimizationspatio-temporal variabilitystatistical scalingstochastic processesstreamflowsubstitutetemperaturetrendtropical Pacifictropical rainfallTsallis entropyturbulenceturbulent flowuncertaintyvariabilityvariation of informationwater distribution networkswater engineeringwater levelwater monitoringwater resource carrying capacitywater resourceswater resources vulnerabilityHistory of engineering and technologyCui Huijuanauth1328942Sivakumar BellieauthSingh Vijay PauthBOOK9910346686803321Entropy Applications in Environmental and Water Engineering3039202UNINA
