Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental hydraulics (EH) is the scientific study of naturally occurring flows of water on our planet Earth, especially of those that affect the environmental quality of the hydrosphere.
Environmental hydraulics encompasses all the transport and transformation phenomena affecting solutes and sediments in the water column as well as several processes of paramount importance across the environmental interfaces such as the air-water, water–sediment, water–vegetation, water–biotic systems, and freshwater–seawater interfaces. Hence, environmental hydraulics is a key point in the water–ecology nexus.
The overall goal of this Special Issue of Water is to present and discuss recent advancements in the field of environmental hydraulics. For this Special Issue papers reporting theoretical, field, laboratory, and numerical investigations on the above phenomena and processes, as well as on their ecological implications for natural water systems, are welcome.
This Special Issue aims to cover, without being limited to, the following areas:
- transport processes in natural water systems;
- transformation processes in natural water systems;
- air-water flows;
- sediment transport and morphodynamics in streams and rivers;
- hyporheic fluxes;
- vegetated flows;
- estuarine hydrodynamics and morphodynamics;
- eco-hydraulics;
- water-ecology nexus.

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.
