New Challenges in Water Systems
This special issue belongs to the section "Hydraulics and Hydrodynamics".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This new era requires new thinking and focused resolve, through the identification of the biggest challenges and concerns in the water sector, to support the development of new design solutions and analyses. The decision on future directions is to look closely at what are the key issues, such as system efficiency, smart water grids, advanced simulations and analyses, losses control and gain opportunities, innovative integrated solutions, water-energy management, which researchers and engineers must address today towards the future challenges, research directions and applications.
This Special Issue aims to provide an investigation and engineering opportunity, where scientists, researchers and experts can submit their novel developments, new design solutions, innovative approaches in several fields of hydraulics, techniques, methods and analyses in order to respond to the new challenges in the water sector.

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.
