Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Floods are among the most frequent and devastating types of natural hazards which can cause great losses on a global scale, damage the economy and infrastructures, cause damage to various human activities, injuries, loss of human lives, and disruption of transportation systems.
Due to climate change, flood events becoming more frequent and unpredictable in recent years.
Flood modelling provides the possibility of informing about the many aspects of flood management. With recent progress in computer-based numerical modelling tools, one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) hydrodynamic models have been used for simulating flood events. Coupled 1D-2D model, which maintain high accuracy and superior computational efficiency, has been developed in recent years and it is of particular importance for many flood-modelling projects.
Flood mapping has made significant progress and it serves as an important tool for flood prediction, control, and mitigation.
For this Special Issue, we welcome research articles and reviews addressing the causes, effects, and consequences of flooding, as well as models that can indicate its simulation.

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.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
