Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Regardless of whether it is approached as an input parameter for the sizing of hydrotechnical facilities or as a cause of flooding, there is no doubt that the term river flow requires significant attention. Although there are many available modeling methods, as well as software, field analysis procedures, etc., an interdisciplinary approach and exchange of knowledge and experience are imperative. This is because river flow analysis without GIS modeling, as well as without a good foundation from hydrogeology research, is not reliable, as well as because climate change does not favor an accurate prediction of possible changes in the future.
The aim of the Special Issue is to collect the papers which present new approaches as well as state of the art of the aforementioned issues. Potential topics are river flow, velocity, and depth modeling; hydrology research and application of GIS and remote sensing tools for hydrogeology research; as well as their mutual combinations and variations, i.e.:
- Surface water, groundwater, snow, and ice, in all their physical, chemical, and biological processes, their interrelationships, and their relationships to geographical factors, atmospheric processes and climate, and Earth processes including erosion and sedimentation;
- River flow modeling;
- Flood assessment;
- Drought assessment;
- Hydrological extremes and their impact;
- Hydrological aspects of the use and management of water resources and their change under the influence of human activity;
- Water resource systems, including the planning, engineering, management, and economic aspects of applied hydrology;
- Modeling, analytical, or visualization approaches to aid water decision making, including novel or emerging approaches to DSS, such as using real-time data and AI.
We welcome submissions from around the world representing a range of disciplines, as well as papers that provide transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary research and perspectives. If you are interested in submitting a manuscript to this Special Issue, please reply to this email: Ms. Alexandra Wang <[email protected]> with a brief description of the manuscript topic, with full manuscripts due by 15 February 2022. All submissions deemed suitable to be sent for peer review will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers. Once a manuscript is accepted, it will go into production and will be simultaneously published in the current regular issue and pulled into the online Special Issue.
Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to 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. 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
