Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last few decades, the impacts of climate change have been researched and reported, and now climate change has been identified as a major issue in the sustainable development of water resources and environmental systems. Due to climate change, we face multiple challenges, especially due to the changing and uncertain future climate. Additionally, the rapidly growing population is driving increased social and economic development and urbanization, leading to major issues in sustainable development. In this Special Issue, various aspects of sustainable developmental issues related to water resources and environmental systems within the changing climate scenarios will be deliberated.
Within this context, the main scope and purpose of the Special Issue is to publish the latest works and case studies related to sustainable developmental issues under changing climate scenarios. Research papers and case studies are invited with the following listed themes.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Sustainable development of water resource systems;
- Sustainable development and environmental issues;
- Climate change and sustainable developmental issues;
- Sustainable water resource management under changing climate scenarios;
- Urban water problems and sustainable development under changing climate;
- Groundwater management and issues of sustainability under changing climate;
- Agricultural water management for sustainable development under changing climate;
- Extremities of flooding and droughts under changing climate and sustainable developmental issues;
- Water, policy, and sustainability—planning and implementation for sustainable development;
- Sustainable development and watershed management;
- Applications of GIS, remote sensing and decision support systems for the sustainable development of water and environment systems.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
