Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Flood is one of the most serious natural disasters all over the world, and flood forecasting and prevention are the most important non-engineering measures for flood control and disaster mitigation. Hydrological processes are nonstationary and are subject to environmental change, which could significantly alter the frequency distribution of floods. Watershed flood simulation is a focus of flood analysis and prediction, and is a fundamental issue in flood control and disaster reduction. Recently, many studies have established intelligent algorithm precipitation-driven watershed flood hydrological and hydraulic coupled forecasting models for forecasting experiments. The aim of this Special Issue is to draw together the latest research in flood risk and hydrology simulation. We call for research papers focusing on hydrological modeling or other techniques understanding how the frequency and severity of hydrological and hydro-meteorological events are changing. This is to provide empirical bases for the formulation of appropriate strategies for enhancing flood risk reduction.
For this Special Issue of Water, we invite authors to submit research on, but not strictly limited to, the following topics:
- The application of intelligent algorithms and learning in hydrology;
- Flash flood simulation and prevention;
- Distributed watershed hydrology models;
- Prior estimation of distributed parameters;
- Simulation of hydrological processes coupled with meteorology;
- Research on the hydrological cycle in a changing environment;
- Groundwater vulnerability in exploitation and use;
- Change of hydrological characteristics of watersheds receiving human impact;
- Land data assimilation, urban water security;
- Hydrological analysis in scale;
- The strategy of dynamically adjusting the parameter in real-time flood forecasting;
- Parameter sensitivity analysis;
- Spatial rationality analysis of parameters.

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.
