Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to submit research papers to the upcoming Special Issue, "Novel Techniques for Water Resources in a Changing Climate: Hydrological Strategies for a Sustainable Future". This issue aims to bring together innovative and interdisciplinary research that addresses the complex challenges climate change poses to global water resources. We welcome contributions that explore novel techniques such as machine learning, multicriteria decision-making, and experimental, field, or numerical modeling to offer sustainable hydrological strategies.
This Special Issue will focus on a wide range of critical topics including, but not limited to:
- Climate change’s impacts on water resources (rivers, lakes, reservoirs, etc.).
- Floods, droughts, and sediment budget management.
- Water quality and pollutant transport.
- Safety and resilience strategies for infrastructures against extreme hydrological events.
- Socio-economic implications of climate change on hydrological systems.
This Special Issue is a unique opportunity to contribute to the body of knowledge on sustainability, particularly regarding climate resilience and the sustainable management of water resources. Submissions should provide insights into the development of new tools, applications, policies, and integrated strategies for addressing these challenges.
We encourage contributions that will help define, quantify, and measure sustainability in water resource management, contributing to a comprehensive and adaptive response to climate change.

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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
