Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sustainable water resources management is one of the most pressing challenges of our time. Rapid environmental change, population growth, and increasing water demand are reshaping hydrologic systems and testing the limits of existing management strategies. Advances in hydrologic modeling, data-driven tools, and interdisciplinary approaches now offer powerful means to support informed decision-making and adaptive water governance.
This Special Issue, titled “Advances in Hydrology and Water Resources Management for Sustainable Futures,” aims to bring together innovative research that connects hydrologic science with practical water management solutions to ensure resilient and equitable water systems for the future.
We invite you to contribute your recent research that advances hydrologic understanding, modeling innovations, and management strategies aimed at achieving sustainable water futures. The potential topics for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Hydrologic modeling and applications;
- Climate change impacts;
- Flood risk assessment;
- Drought mitigation;
- Integrated water resources management;
- Simulation and optimization for reservoir operation;
- Groundwater modeling and management;
- Hydrology and ecosystem interactions;
- Machine learning applications;
- Uncertainty and risk analysis.

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-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.
