Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Anthropogenic or natural activities, such as agricultural irrigation or natural rainfall, cause the movement of water, nutrients, and sediment. This may have a negative impact on environmental quality. Assessing the potential impacts of water flow and nutrients and sediment tranpsort on soil and water systems is essential for the development of scientific environmental protection strategies. The establishment of the numerical model provides a robust tool for accurately quantifying the movement of water, nutrients, and sediment, which will provide critical assistance for the prediction of environmental adverse effects under rapidly changing environmental conditions.
The aim of this Special Issue is to publish recent advances in the numerical modeling of environmental factor transport processes that contribute to the understanding of the mechanisms by which anthropogenic or natural activities affect water, nutrients and sediment movement, as well as possible environmental impacts. We welcome original research or review articles on the numerical modeling of water, nutrient, and sediment movement at various scales, including soil column, artificial slope, field slope, soil profile, surface water, vadose zone, and groundwater.

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 2200 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.
