Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In order to show our gratitude to our Editorial Board Members, we our launching a Special Issue entitled “Editorial Board Members’ Collection Series: The Impact of Climate Change on Water Resources”. This Special Issue will be composed of feature papers selected by the Editorial Board Members.

We invite researchers to submit high-quality papers related to the impact of climate change on water resources. These can encompass the following: urban water supply, urban drainage, sponge cities, stormwater harvesting, rainwater use in buildings, green roofs, permeable pavement systems to filter stormwater, urban water contamination, the effects of urbanisation, sustainable development, urban wastewater reuse, flood risk management, water resources, and climate change, among others.

Prof. Dr. Enedir Ghisi

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • Reprint: MDPI Books provides the opportunity to republish successful Special Issues in book format, both online and in print.

An extreme flood event occurred in Slovenia in August 2023. This study evaluated the influence of this extreme flood on the design discharges in Slovenia. This evaluation was based on flood frequency analysis for the data from 33 gauging stations. Analyses were conducted with and without the 2023 peak discharge, i.e., for the periods 1961–2022 and 1961–2023, using eight different theoretical distribution functions. In addition, specific discharge values for the 2023 flood event were analyzed and compared with regional envelope curves for Europe. The findings of the study indicate that the impact of a single flood event on the design discharge values can be substantial. Moreover, an analysis of the specific discharges resulting from the 2023 flood event in Slovenia reveals that the values for all gauging stations considered are below the regional envelopes. Concurrently, the analysis indicates that a flood event larger than the 2023 event may occur in the future. Full article
