Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the increasing global demand for energy, water energy resources have been widely promoted as a clean energy source. In order to meet the needs of water energy resource development, hydraulic engineering has rapidly developed and plays an important role in regulating water resources and flood control by controlling river water levels and flow rates to achieve these objectives. However, hydraulic engineering faces various challenges in terms of design, construction, and operation due to complex geographical conditions. For example, under strong seismic conditions, soil liquefaction is prone to occur, leading to foundation settlement and dam slope instability, while other hydraulic structures may also suffer damage. Due to the extensive and crucial role of hydraulic engineering, the evaluation of its structural safety performance is particularly important. This Special Issue of the journal Water will focus on research related to the safety of hydraulic structures, aiming to advance the development and regulation of water resources. The Special Issue’s topics include, but are not limited to, seismic response analysis of hydraulic structures, research on the seismic performance of hydraulic structures, studies on earthquake input methods, and refined analyses.
We believe these subjects will be very useful for the further development of water power resources.

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.
