The impacts of these changes on water resources range from changes in water availability (due to changes in losses of water to evapotranspiration and recharge) to degradation of water quality (increased erosion, salinity, chemical loadings, and pathogens). The impacts are manifested through complex hydro-bio-geo-climate characteristics, which underscore the need for integrated scientific approaches to understand the impacts of landscape change on water resources. Several techniques, such as field studies, long-term monitoring, remote sensing technologies, and advanced modeling studies, have contributed to better understanding the modes and mechanisms by which landscape changes impact water resources. Such research studies can help unlock the complex interconnected influences of landscape on water resources in terms of quantity and quality at multiple spatial and temporal scales. In this Special Issue, we published a set of eight peer-reviewed articles elaborating on some of the specific topics of landscape changes and associated impacts on water resources.History of engineering and technologybicsscbank erosionbest management practices (BMPs)diversityDMMFdrip irrigationEthiopiaevapotranspirationflood analysisflood zone delineationgroundwater potentialHEC-RAShydrodynamic modelinghydrologic modelinghydrologic response units (HRUs)hydrologically connected fieldshydrologyimpact assessmentimpervious arealandscape changelandscape configurationlandscape ecologylandscape metricslandscape scaleLID practicesMarys River watershedpeak flowSajó Riverscaling-up conservation agricultureshallow subsurface runoff and infiltrationslope positionssoil temperaturesolar energyspatial configuration unitsspatial optimizationstream temperaturesurface runoffsustainable intensificationSWATUAVVELMAwater modelingwater resources analysiswatershed modelwatershed process simulationwatershed scaleHistory of engineering and technologyJha Manoj Kedt1328372Jha Manoj KothBOOK9910557754503321Impacts of Landscape Change on Water Resources3038545UNINA
