Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the scarcity of systematic observations of maximum flows in terms of their length and accuracy, historical information is a valuable supplement to data sets. Historical flood data are obtained using paleohydrological techniques, which have now made spectacular advances in accurately determining the age of floods, in quantifying the magnitude and dynamics of paleoflood events, and in integrating historical and paleoflood (both often called non-instrumental) data into various modeling procedures for risk assessment.
The visible climate change which manifests mostly by the increase in the magnitude and frequency of the extreme phenomena poses new challenges for hydrologists. It is believed that historical and paleofloods were harsher than what we experience nowadays but may be the same or even smaller when compared to those in near future. Therefore, the reconstruction of the past floods can help with the creation of more robust adaptation policies for the future climate crisis.

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.
