Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the phenomenon of tunnel water inrush has become a critical issue in geotechnical engineering and hydrogeology. This issue not only complicates tunnel construction but also poses significant risks to the safety of construction personnel and equipment. The study of tunnel water inrush and the implementation of effective prediction and prevention measures are imperative and have garnered substantial attention both domestically and internationally. However, the mechanisms of tunnel water inrush and stability analyses require further investigation through diverse methodologies, research subjects (such as the interaction of geological formations with water), and comprehensive data.
We invite submissions on a variety of topics, including, but not limited to, the following:
- The interaction of geotechnical bodies with water, changes in mechanical properties, and prediction of tunnel water inrush using applied geophysics techniques such as the electrical method and induced polarization;
- The evaluation of tunnel stability under hydrogeological conditions and the prediction of water inrush events during tunnel boring machine (TBM) operations, including the prevention of TBM card machine scenarios;
- The prediction of tunnel water inrush volume;
- The impact assessment of water inrush hazards under varying geological conditions and measures for disaster prevention and mitigation.
Original research articles and reviews are strongly encouraged. I look forward to hearing from you.

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.
