Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Flooding is widely acknowledged as one of the most devastating natural disasters on Earth. Many researchers have dedicated significant efforts to studying topics related to flooding, with the goal of producing outcomes that can help alleviate the impact of this phenomenon. However, the frequency and severity of flooding events have increased due to climate change. While this has resulted in more flood events and damage, it has also led to the availability of more data that can aid researchers in improving flood-related studies. The recent advancements in machine learning models and their diverse applications have captured researchers' attention. One key advantage of machine learning models is their ability to make predictions based solely on the presence of past flood data, removing the need for extensive geographical parameters and observations for calibration and validation. Consequently, the application of machine learning models has become the latest trend in flood-related research. This Special Issue will delve into various machine learning models for flood simulations and their applications in disaster mitigation and prevention. The Special Issue aims to provide valuable information to readers from different backgrounds, such as academia and engineering, who are identifying breakthroughs in their research area or practical implementations for flood applications.

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.
