This book presents a comprehensive collection of selected proceedings from the International Virtual Conference on Trends in Hydrological and Environmental Systems (ITHES 2021). Spanning a wide range of topics, this publication delves into urban hydrology, hydrological extremes, statistical analysis of hydro-meteorological data, the impacts of climate change, hydrological modelling, groundwater studies, water resource management, and the applications of Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in hydrology. Additionally, it explores various subjects related to the applications of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in water resources and environmental engineering, water and wastewater treatment, solid waste management, and air quality.

Designed as a valuable resource for beginners, researchers, and professionals alike, this book offers insightful insights into environmental civil engineering, particularly in the domains of hydrological and environmental systems. The contributions presented herein contribute to the ongoing discourse on sustainable development, climate change adaptation, and resource management, making it an essential read for those seeking to advance their knowledge and expertise in this field.

The book is organized into several chapters, each dedicated to a specific theme. In the first chapter, "Urban Hydrology," the authors explore the challenges and opportunities associated with managing water resources in urban environments. They discuss the impact of urbanization on hydrological processes, the development of urban hydrological models, and the application of GIS in urban water management.

The second chapter, "Hydrological Extremes," focuses on the study and forecasting of extreme hydrological events such as floods, droughts, and storms. The authors present case studies and discuss the use of statistical analysis and hydrological modelling techniques to improve the understanding and prediction of these events.

In the third chapter, "Statistical Analysis of Hydro-Meteorological Data," the authors explore the methods and techniques used to analyze and interpret hydro-meteorological data. They discuss the importance of data quality, uncertainty analysis, and the application of statistical models to extract meaningful insights from hydrological datasets.

The fourth chapter, "Impacts of Climate Change on Hydrological and Environmental Systems," examines the impacts of climate change on water resources and ecosystems. The authors discuss the observed changes in precipitation patterns, temperature trends, and sea level rise, and explore the potential consequences of these changes on hydrological systems and environmental sustainability.

The fifth chapter, "Hydrological Modelling," explores the development and application of hydrological models to simulate and predict hydrological processes. The authors discuss the various modelling approaches, including physically-based models, statistical models, and machine learning algorithms, and their suitability for different hydrological applications.

The sixth chapter, "Groundwater Studies," focuses on the exploration, characterization, and management of groundwater resources. The authors present case studies and discuss the techniques used to assess groundwater quality, evaluate groundwater vulnerability, and develop sustainable groundwater management strategies.

The seventh chapter, "Water Resource Management and Applications of RS & GIS in Hydrology," explores the use of RS and GIS in hydrological research, planning, and management. The authors discuss the advantages of these technologies in data collection, analysis, visualization, and decision-making processes.

The eighth chapter, "Applications of CFD in Water Resources and Environmental Engineering," explores the use of CFD in water resources and environmental engineering. The authors discuss the applications of CFD in river flow
