Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water is an essential element for human life and security. In recent times, the apparition and intensification of extreme events has aggravated water availability and quality, significantly affecting people’s well-being. Drought episodes intensify water scarcity. At the same time, rainfall intensity or frequency has increased in different regions worldwide. In this context, evaluating and forecasting the apparition of extreme events and mitigating their effects has become necessary not only as research topics but especially for policymakers and decision factors to avoid or mitigate the inherent effects of such events. In this context, the main topics of this Special Issue are as follows:
- Influence of climate changes in the water runoff process;
- Future projection of flash-flood susceptibility according to climate change scenarios;
- The variability of the maximum river discharges according to climate change projections;
- The impact of climate change on the frequency and severity of droughts;
- Risk and uncertainty in detecting drought events;
- Quantitative and qualitative analysis of extreme events;
- Hazards and risks in drought assessment;
- Integrating environmental economics into flood/drought risk management;
- Modeling the correlation between climate variables and hydrological processes.

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.
