Advances in Surface Water Resources Engineering

Surface water engineering methods are evolving rapidly in our changing world. These methods (e.g., new advancement in hydrology, hydraulic and climate change) can be applied to a wide range of water resources research problems, including coastal engineering, river engineering, watershed management, and lake modeling. This Topical Collection deals with numerical, field and laboratory studies related to the above-mentioned topics. Sediment transport, waves, pollutant fate and transport, hydraulic structures, coastal structures, river and coastal erosion, river and coastal flow simulation, river and coastal flood, dam breach analysis, climate change impact on mining, mine water management, stream restoration and lake modeling are included in this Topical Collection.
