Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Hydrological Processes focuses on the study of water movement and storage within various Earth systems. Research examines hydrological processes in diverse environments, including alpine lakes, coal mining areas, mountainous basins, and tropical rainforests. Key areas of investigation include rainfall-runoff modeling, groundwater recharge, surface water-groundwater interactions, and the impact of climate variability and extreme events like droughts and floods on water resources. The journal also addresses challenges in data-scarce regions and the development of hydrological models for cold regions and ungauged catchments.
