Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The uncertainty in the future in terms of climate and societal behaviour is expected to increase. The study of different scenarios is extremely important to increase knowledge, especially in regions where severe impacts resulting from the climate are projected. Therefore, management scenarios aimed at mitigating these impacts should be studied, obtaining preventive or adaptation measures at different risk locations.
The studies of different societal scenarios in combination with climate projections will allow populations and managers to foresee possible catastrophes, regarding water quantity and quality, and prepare the population for an anticipated response. This Special Issue aims to cover different methodologies, especially modelling, in order to test different scenarios, focusing on more sustainable management practices in different sectors. Therefore, this Special Issue welcomes contributions such as original research articles, technical articles or reviews, focused on different themes such as, but not limited to:
- Agriculture:
- decreasing irrigation application without compromising production—water use efficiency;
- fertilizers application optimization—water quality improvement;
- crops adaptation in order to not compromising production—water use efficiency;
- Urban:
- flood forecast—modelling tools to alert population;
- inundation areas modelling—mitigation or adaptation measures;
- Land use:
- decreasing erosion and soil lost—water quality improvement;
- land use changes—water quantity and quality analyses; adaptation to climate change.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
