Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate change and human activities are reshaping the global hydrological cycle, driving extreme weather events, altering seasonality, and intensifying water scarcity. Hydrologic non-stationarity has led to reduced stream flows in some regions while amplifying flooding in others. Rapid urban expansion and increasing agricultural demands further threaten water accessibility and quality, underscoring the urgent need for sustainable water management strategies.
Beyond ensuring environmental protection, strengthening community resilience to water scarcity is paramount. Additionally, safeguarding cultural values and their connection to land and water management is essential for holistic and equitable solutions.
This Special Issue will bring together pioneering research that addresses global water resource challenges through innovative approaches. We invite contributions from researchers, scholars, and industry professionals deepening scientific understanding and driving transformative advancements in hydrological science and sustainable water management.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Innovations in hydrological modelling and forecasting.
- Applications of remote sensing and GIS in water resource management.
- Advancements in AI and machine learning in hydrology.
- Climate change’s impacts on hydrological cycles and water availability.
- The prediction and mitigation of extreme weather events, droughts, and floods.
- Urban hydrology and stormwater management strategies.
- Advances in research on surface water–groundwater interactions and low-flow simulation.
- Advances in research on environmental flows.
- Water quality forecasting, pollution control, and management.
- Cultural flows and hydrological modelling.
We invite you to join us in shaping a resilient future for our water resources.

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.
