| Resumen | Water resources in urban environments are essential. Cities and peri-urban areas take place in the basin and, thus, water resources are used and also impacted significantly. Together with monitoring and measuring, hydrological modeling becomes key in characterizing, assessing, and predicting these uses and impacts, and developing strategies and practices to assure the long-term sustainability of cities. New developments and applications in hydrological modeling are constantly needed to represent the complex hydrological and biophysical interactions within urbanization and between urbanization and the basin. Moreover, such studies must account for a variety of global change manifestations (i.e., changes in climate, land use, and population) as well as sociopolitical issues while providing solid scientific bases for the planning and management of cities and water systems. Although very comprehensive and detailed models are currently under development, simple conceptual models are still needed as they facilitate our understanding of fundamental process and clearly illustrate the effects of the main attributes of the urbanization and the river basin. For this Special Issue, we seek state-of-the art contributions from all over the world addressing a variety of challenges in hydrological modeling for urban water management. Topics of relevance for this issue include: Continuous simulation in urban water management; |
