Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will cover a wide spectrum of topics at the forefront of sustainable water resources technology and management (analytical and numerical water resources problems and management, computer modeling and case studies). In the last two decades, the solution to such uncertain problems were obtained using the fuzzy logic. The scope of this Special Issue should play a fundamental role in the advancement, distinction and diffusion of the recent research and technical activities in the water resources and management field. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their research relating to sustainable water resources technology and management in as much detail as possible to achieve a maximum impact. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas aside from the above topics, may include (but are not limited to) the following: sustainability geological occurrence of groundwater; sustainability groundwater flow and transport processes; sustainability groundwater and seepage; sustainability moisture movement in the unsaturated zones; sustainability well hydraulics and aquifer tests; sustainability aquifer characterization; design analysis and evaluation of water networks under uncertainty; hydro-meteorological extremes and hazards: vulnerability, risk and mitigation; decision making under multicriteria; and multi-experts in water resources management problems, etc. Papers submitted for this Special Issue will be subjected to a rigorous peer-review procedure with the aim of a rapid and widespread dissemination of research findings, developments and applications.
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. 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.

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.
