  4. Microplastics and Emerging Contaminants:
    Research on microplastics and other emerging contaminants in water bodies is gaining traction, driven by increasing awareness of their ecological impacts and the need for effective monitoring and mitigation strategies.
  5. Interdisciplinary Research Collaborations:
    There is a notable increase in interdisciplinary research efforts that combine hydrology with fields such as ecology, urban planning, and public health, aiming to address complex water management challenges holistically.

Declining or Waning

While the journal continues to publish a wide array of topics, some areas of research appear to be declining in prominence as the focus shifts towards more pressing contemporary issues.
  1. Historical Hydrology Studies:
    There has been a noticeable decrease in research focused solely on historical hydrology, as the journal's emphasis has shifted towards current and predictive studies relevant to climate change and modern water management.
  2. Traditional Water Management Practices:
    Research on conventional water management techniques is being overshadowed by innovative approaches such as nature-based solutions and integrated management systems, reflecting a broader trend toward sustainability.
  3. Localized Case Studies:
    While localized studies remain important, there is a waning interest in isolated case studies without broader applicability or integration into larger regional or global contexts, as the journal seeks to address more systemic issues.
