Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to explore the intersection of computational modeling and advanced machine learning techniques in the context of hydrological systems. The primary focus is to highlight innovative approaches where machine learning is applied to enhance predictive models of water dynamics, optimize water resource management, and improve our understanding of environmental water systems. Submissions are invited that cover a range of topics, including, but not limited to, predictive modeling of water quality and quantity, flood forecasting, groundwater monitoring, and the integration of real-time data analytics in hydrological models.

This Special Issue contributes to the growing body of literature that seeks to bridge traditional water modeling approaches with cutting-edge machine learning methods. By situating itself at the convergence of these fields, it seeks to advance research in areas where machine learning can offer novel insights into complex water-related challenges. Existing research has focused on the use of either water modeling or machine learning independently; however, this issue calls for contributions that demonstrate the synergistic potential when both are combined to address multifaceted problems in water science and management.

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.
