Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Flood is an extreme hydrological process in climatic events, with enormous impacts on human society and the ecosystem. Thus, assessing flood risks is critical for flood hazard mitigation and prevention. In the context of global climate change, extreme meteorological and hydrological events are widespread and frequent. In response to climate change, the support capacity of small- and medium-sized reservoirs is obviously insufficient, and the impact of flood discharge is widely concerning for all the whole society. With the intensification of climate change and the impact of human activities, the concept of flood risk management and prevention is also changing. Flood risk assessment involves new problems and new demands, such as paying more attention to the flood control risk of reservoirs. On the basis of systematically identifying the flood control risk of small- and medium-sized reservoirs, it is also very important to strengthen flood control dispatching and flood control early warning, especially flood control early warning, which is one of the core contents of non-engineering measures for flood control and disaster reduction. Through systematic flood risk assessment and the formulation of reasonable and effective early warning countermeasures to deal with different degrees of risk, we can reduce flood control risk and improve the scientificity and rationality of reservoir flood control decision making.
We invite submissions including, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Comprehensive flood risk assessment for reservoirs, including own risk and the impact of discharge on the downstream;
- Reservoir flood dispatching risk possibility analysis;
- Risk assessment index system of reservoir flood dispatching;
- Reservoir flood dispatching risk comprehensive evaluation model;
- Flood forecasting of small reservoirs;
- Flood warning of small reservoirs.

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.
