Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to focus on research advances and investigations applied in the area of water and soil resources’ optimization simulation. At present, extreme weather events are occurring more often due to climate change, and social and economic development has led to a significant rise in the demand for water supplies. There are unprecedented challenges and opportunities in the management, evaluation, and preservation of soil and water resources. This Special Issue aims to focus on the latest research findings in the area of soil and water resources, exploring innovative technologies and methods, encouraging the preservation and sustainable use of soil and water resources, supporting the management of the water resources crisis caused by climate change and extreme weather, enhancing our understanding of hydrological processes, and supporting scientific decision-making by computer simulation and optimization technology/tools.
The goal of this Special Issue is to collate manuscripts that discuss different topics related to water resources’ carrying capacity assessment, agricultural water-saving technology optimization, hydrological process simulation under climate change, etc., and focus on combining computer simulation, mathematical analysis methods, optimization analysis methods, etc.
In this Special Issue, contributions related to the following topics of interest are welcome to be submitted:
- Agricultural/industrial/urban water resources’ management;
- Water resources’ carrying capacity assessment;
- Hydrological and water resources’ planning model under uncertainty;
- Hydrological model development and verification;
- Soil infiltration process simulation;
- Water resources’ decision support system development;
- Application of learning machine in water and soil sources optimization simulation;
- Mountain torrent disaster assessment;
- Flood risk warning technology;
- Comprehensive drought assessment.

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.
