Advances in Hydraulic Engineering Management

Dear Colleagues,

Hydraulic engineering management plays a critical role in the optimal utilization of water resources to achieve sustainable development. The progress in management covers hydraulic engineering project planning, design, construction, operation and stakeholder engagement, dealing with water supply, energy generation, flood risk mitigation, environment protection and economic development. An acceptable balance between economic growth, the preservation of the natural environment and community resilience needs to be struck by managing hydraulic engineering projects in a sustainable way. This has led to a clear need for answers to the question of how to use advanced management approaches to align the multiple objectives of hydraulic engineering projects associated with economic, social and environmental sustainability.

This Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Hydraulic Engineering Management”, focuses on relevant aspects of exploiting water resources in sustainable ways. This Special Issue encourages both academic researchers and industrial practitioners to present their findings on progress in hydraulic engineering management, including: hydraulic engineering project management, water supply project management, irrigation project management, hydropower project management, water-based recreation project management, planning, design, construction, operation, project delivery methods, cost management, time management, quality management, environmental management, safety management, flood risk management, drought risk management, water resource management, river basin management, migration resettlement, stakeholder engagement, cooperation in hydraulic engineering development, regional economic development, policies, and technologies related to hydraulic engineering management.

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.
