Advancing Sustainable Hydrological Modelling and Smart Water Resource Management
This special issue belongs to the section "Hydrology".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue centres on the advancement of sustainable hydrological modelling and smart water resource management in the context of climate change. It aims to explore cutting-edge methodologies that integrate machine learning, data assimilation, and hybrid modelling frameworks to improve the accuracy, robustness, and adaptability of hydrological predictions. Emphasis is placed on the development of intelligent scheduling and allocation strategies that can dynamically respond to spatiotemporal variability and uncertainty in water systems. This Special Issue seeks to bridge the methodological gap between physical models and data-driven techniques, providing novel insights into model fusion, scenario-based regulation, and real-time decision making. By highlighting interdisciplinary research at the intersection of hydrology, climate science, and artificial intelligence, this collection will complement the existing literature with forward-looking approaches and contribute to building resilient and adaptive water systems for a changing world.

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-anonymized 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.
