Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Estuaries and coastal regions are heavily populated and well-developed areas. Future rapid population growth and urbanisation in these regions will greatly affect the environmental and water quality of these regions. Fresh river water flow carries and deposits sediment as it enters coastal seas via estuaries, while salt water intrusion in river mouths affects estuarine and coastal ecology and environments. On the coast, tidal flow, currents and waves may cause beach erosion and variation in water quality. A better understanding of the hydraulics and hydrodynamics of estuaries and coasts is therefore critical to accurately monitor the environment and water quality and predict coast evolution. The hydrodynamics in estuaries and coasts, which is affected by many factors, is very complicated, requiring a unique approach combining theoretical analysis, laboratory experiments, field observation and numerical modelling studies. As such, this Special Issue is set to bring researchers together to investigate the hydrodynamics, sediment transport and water quality of estuaries and coasts. Topics of interest include: fresh-salt water exchange in estuaries; hydraulics in estuaries and coasts; sediment transport in estuaries and coasts; beach erosion and nourishment; estuarine and coastal flooding; water quality modelling in estuaries and coasts.

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.
