Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Guaranteeing security in order to cope with water risks (mainly floods and droughts) is essential not only to preserve and maintain the environment but also to protect socio-economic activity. However, population growth and its associated economic needs, as well as the evident modifications of the hydrological cycle patterns resulting from increasing climate variability, are seriously compromising the achievement of these objectives. In the face of this global challenge, new approaches and advances in the fields of hydroinformatics and geostatistics can help to improve the assessment of these increasingly systemic natural hazards.
This Special Issue is focused on improving risk assessment in water systems, covering a wide range of topics, including the spatio-temporal hydrological–hydraulic analysis of risk induced by sudden and extreme events, advances in the modelling of water systems, advances in the forest restoration and/or development of nature-based solutions to mitigate the effects of floods, innovative methodologies for time series analysis, new developments based on EPIC responses, or drought characterization, among other things.

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. 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
