Vijay Singh has authored many journal articles and books on hydrology. His work has developed the application of kinematic wave theory to the point where it is widely used throughout the world in hydrologic models used for water resource modeling, flood planning and hydrologic design. His work on entropy theory has created a new branch of hydrology, called entropic hydrology.
At present, he serves as editor-in-chief of the Journal of Hydrologic Engineering and Water Science and Engineering, two of the premier journals in hydrology and continues on the editorial boards of 27 different journals.
