Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A large amount of water engineering infrastructure, such as dams, embankments, and channels, was built to provide important societal and economic benefits related to flood control, power generation, water supply, etc. It is particularly important to ensure safety in water engineering throughout the life cycle of design, construction, and operation. The present Special Issue focuses on water engineering safety and management in the hydraulics and hydrodynamics fields. We are pleased to invite you to submit your original research articles and reviews to this Special Issue.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Water engineering simulation analysis theory;
- Optimization design methods for water engineering;
- Intelligent construction technology for water engineering;
- Water engineering construction and safety management;
- Water engineering safety monitoring and health diagnosis;
- Water engineering reliability analysis and risk assessment;
- Innovative simulation/computing tools for water engineering;
- Novel operation and maintenance measures for water engineering.
Other studies related to water engineering safety and management in the hydraulics and hydrodynamics fields are also welcome.
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. 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.
