25 Years of Advances in Water Resources: Reprinted from Advances in Water Resources, Volume 25/8-12 (V. 25/8-12)

This volume assembles a broad range of comprehensive, scholarly works in the field of water resources that accomplish multiple objectives: (1) to provide a critical review of the state of knowledge; (2) to provide introductions to, or comparisons among, classes of methods; (3) to unify knowledge in related areas; and (4) to point the way to future advancements in the field. Individual contributions are authored by world-class scholars and assembled to provide an important contribution to the field that will have enduring value to hydrologists, soil scientists, environmental engineers, atmospheric scientists, geostatisticians, and applied mathematicians.

The general areas of contributions to this special issue include: flow in complex porous medium systems, reactive transport in porous medium systems, upscaling, multiphase model formulation, numerical methods for single and multiphase fluid flow and species transport, optimization and data assimilation, statistical analysis of hydrologic systems, catchment hydrology, ecohydrology, land-atmosphere interactions, and remote sensing. The broad range of these contributions includes both the traditional and evolving areas of importance to the water resources community.
