Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled “Innovative Approaches in Hydrology Applied to the Study of River and Lakes Systems”, presents the latest developments in hydrology, with particular emphasis on their practical applications in river and lake systems. The contributions showcase innovative methods in hydrological monitoring, remote sensing, numerical modeling, and advanced data analysis techniques, which enhance our understanding of water flow, sediment transport, and related physicochemical processes. Topics also include water quality assessments and the physicochemical properties of waterbed sediments, examined in the context of both natural processes and anthropogenic influences.
The articles cover the development of new measurement methods, including observations using drones and satellites and their application to simulate surface runoff, erosion, sediment dynamics, and water quality under various hydrological conditions.
Both theoretical progress and practical applications are highlighted, with a focus on innovative hydrological tools and their application in the analysis of river morphology, sedimentation processes, chemical composition, and aquatic environmental assessment. By connecting innovative research across different catchment types, from mountainous areas to lowland river and lake systems, this issue supports the more accurate assessment of functioning systems through informed decision-making.
The aim of this Special Issue is to promote interdisciplinary knowledge exchange among hydrologists, geomorphologists, water quality specialists, environmental chemists, and water resource managers, encouraging the use of innovative hydrological methods to support the management of sustainable river and lake 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 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.
