Spatial Modelling in Water Resources Management

Dear colleagues,

This Special Issue will consider spatial modeling in water resources management and researches of related to it. At present, there are different challenges and uncertainties due of climate change and man-made interferences, so it is very difficult to decide and select a better decision. By contrast, mismanagement and also sustainability of the current and future water resource allocation are other concerns. Thus, it is important to use the newest technologies and tools to improve and properly develop sustainable managements. In this regard, a relationship among three tools, including remote sensing (RS), GIS, and R statistical packages, could be very effective. Land sustainability strategies and water resources management along with corrected policies must be based on accurate surveys and assessment, and the three techniques (RS, R and GIS) will contribute to achieving the right management.

Today, the use of open source software is developing in different spatial modeling cases, such as geology, natural resources, environment, natural hazards, water resource, soil erosion, hydrology, geography, ecology, agriculture, etc. Additionally, remote sensing and GIS tools have been used to help toward a better description of phenomena and objects and even in forecasting and prediction of future analyses that occur in the real world and facilitate problem solving. We are sure that this issue could attract different researchers and scientists worldwide because it will combine remote sensing, GIS, and R statistical packages in various fields. We therefore look forward to your submissions of papers that cover these aspects.

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).
