Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue comprises selected papers from the Proceedings of the 8th International Electronic Conference on Water Science (ECWS-8), held from 14 to 16 October 2024 on sciforum.net, an online platform for hosting scholarly e-conferences and discussion groups.
The ECWS-8 will be a conference to explore and discuss the following key issues: adaptive water resources management; new technologies in the water science; enhancement of water safety and security for humans, their economic activities and the environment; and the formulation of new numerical methods and structures for water resources adaptation, management and development.
The ECWS-8 invites researchers from academia, as well as water practitioners, to contribute original findings, novel ideas, scientific concepts and new technologies and experiences.
Papers for this Special Issue, entitled “Innovative Trends to Reshape the Water Science, Technology and Engineering”, will include but are not limited to the following topics:
- Rivers, Dams and Reservoirs;
- Hydrodynamics, Hydraulic Transients, Hydropower and Pumped Storage in Water-Energy Nexus;
- Estuaries, Coasts and Ports;
- Urban Water, Systems Efficiency and Smart Water Grids and Technology;
- Numerical and Experimental Methods, Data Analyses, Digital Twin, IoT Machine Learning and AI in Water Sciences;
- Water Resources Management, Floods and Risk Mitigation.

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.
