Techniques and Applications in Water Science and Engineering: Selected Papers from the Inaugural International Symposium on Water Modelling (iSymWater2019)

Dear Colleagues,

The Inaugural International Symposium on Water Modelling (iSymWater2019), hosted by Beijing Normal University and Manchester Metropolitan University, successfully took place on 8–10 July 2019 in Beijing, China. The symposium attracted a total of 140 researchers, practitioners and scientific experts from many countries around the world, including Australia, China, Italy, Japan, the UK and the USA. During the conference, the delegates exchanged ideas on future research trends and planning strategies for sustainable water through theoretical and physical modelling approaches. The topics covered a wide range of research areas, including hydraulic modelling, hydroenvironment modelling, hydroecology modelling, water management simulation, physical experiments and software, for which a diversity of applications and tools exist. State-of-the-art technical solutions to problems and large-scale applications relevant to water were discussed at the Symposium. In order to achieve a worldwide impact, this Special Issue has been launched for publications of selected high quality research work from the Symposium, after peer-review of the manuscripts. The Special Issue will greatly accelerate knowledge exchange and transfer and promote future research involving water modelling aimed at solving challenging problems affecting the aquatic environment, leading to deeper understanding and a better quality of life in a changing world.

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.
