Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue delves into the critical nexus of hydrological and ecological interactions within watersheds, seeking to advance our understanding and management capabilities through sophisticated modeling approaches. The convergence of enhanced computational power, rich datasets, and refined understanding of processes has catalyzed a new era of watershed modeling, capable of capturing the intricate interplay between biogeochemical cycles, ecohydrology, erosion, anthropogenic influences, and atmospheric drivers.
We invite submissions that explore ecohydrological processes at the watershed scale, particularly focusing on the application of physics-based, data-driven, or hybrid models. This Special Issue will highlight research that quantifies the impacts of land cover and climate change, alongside human infrastructure, on watershed hydrology, and water quality, encompassing nutrients, sediment, bacteria, and emerging contaminants. We encourage innovative modeling efforts that improve predictions of both traditional and emerging contaminants; integrate novel data sources, including remote sensing and qualitative data; enhance model structure and leverage advanced computational technologies; and model coupled surface and subsurface flow processes. This Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research that bridges the gap between theoretical modeling and practical watershed management, fostering a deeper comprehension of these complex systems.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Water 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 2600 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.
