Snowpack plays a crucial role in seasonal water supply, serving as a vital component of the hydrological cycle. The dynamics of snow accumulation and melt significantly influence water availability in many regions, particularly those dependent on snowmelt for their water resources. This article examines the role of snowpack dynamics in seasonal water supply, reviewing the processes governing snow accumulation and melt, the impact of climate change on snowpack and the implications for water resource management. By integrating recent research and case studies, this paper highlights the importance of understanding snowpack dynamics for predicting and managing seasonal water variability.

Flood risk prediction is a critical aspect of managing water resources and ensuring public safety. Advances in hydrological modeling have significantly enhanced our ability to predict and mitigate flood risk. This article reviews recent innovations in hydrological modeling techniques, including the integration of remote sensing data, machine learning algorithms and real-time monitoring systems. It examines how these innovations improve the accuracy of flood predictions, facilitates better flood risk management and explores future directions in hydrological modeling research.

Land use changes have profound impacts on watershed hydrology, influencing both the quantity and quality of water resources. This paper examines the effects of land use changes on watershed hydrology and reviews recent advancements in remote sensing techniques for monitoring hydrological extremes. Through a comparative analysis, we highlight how these techniques improve our understanding of hydrological processes and contribute to more effective water resource management. We provide case studies to illustrate the practical applications and benefits of these advancements.
