Welcome to the "Journal of Ecohydrology"

Today, ecohydrology is considered a foundation for sustainable development in watersheds. Authors in this field focus on understanding the interaction between hydrological cycles and ecosystem behavior, while also addressing issues caused by human activities that disrupt the delicate balance between water resources and environmental sustainability. These interactions are crucial for food security, soil protection, and the aesthetic value of the environment.
