Special Issue Information
In many rivers, suspended sediment has been identified as one of the leading causes of river impairment. Therefore, a deeper understanding of suspended sediment transport mechanisms and dynamics, as well as an accurate quantification of suspended sediment fluxes, is important for sustainable water and sediment management purposes.
In this Special Issue, we invite papers that investigate suspended sediment transport at catchment scale. Papers should improve our knowledge on factors controlling suspended sediment transport mechanisms across different landscapes and provide robust diagnoses and guidelines to decision makers. We especially encourage contributions dealing with long-term monitoring datasets, comparative studies, and those that attempt high-resolution monitoring across multiple temporal and spatial scales. In addition, we welcome studies using new technologies and innovative methods for monitoring suspended sediment transport, and those investigating the impact of global change on sediment transport by rivers.

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.
