Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the scale and construction difficulty of high dams and large reservoirs has gradually increased, presenting numerous challenges to the layout of engineering hubs and hydraulic safety. Most high dams are made of local materials, with harsh geological conditions, large discharge flow rates of spillway structures, and high water heads. They generally face problems such as flow energy dissipation, flow aeration, ventilation and air supply, flood discharge atomization, and site vibration. With the gradual shift in hydropower development to high-altitude areas and the increasing requirements for emergency measures of projects, higher demands have been placed on aspects such as the impact of low-pressure environments, deep rapid drainage facilities for reservoirs, emergency responses to extreme accidents, disaster reduction and loss mitigation, and benefit improvement. Therefore, this Special Issue will focus on the layout challenges and hydraulic innovation technologies of high dams and large reservoirs. We sincerely invite you to contribute to this Special Issue.

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.
