Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The growing challenges of water management and geohazard mitigation in a changing climate require focused attention. Water, as a vital resource, becomes increasingly crucial for sustainable development in changing environmental conditions. Geohazard mitigation and management equally represent fundamental aspects of safe and sustainable development. Geohazards vary widely, from climate-change-related hazards (such as droughts, desertification, soil erosion, soil expansion, coastal erosion, sea level rise, etc.) to hydrological hazards (such as river floods, flash floods, land subsidence, etc.) and mass movement hazards (such as falls, topples, slides, spreads, flows, etc.). Most geohazards share a strong dependence on water interactions, creating complex, irregular (often seasonal) patterns that are hard to define. In this sense, a multidisciplinary approach is encouraged and papers that provide insights into this critical topic are welcomed, including site-specific investigations, practical solutions or recommendations, and papers that are oriented to regional aspects, general trend research, and predictive analyses.

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.
