Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ice is a significant hydrological phenomenon in cold regions, profoundly impacting the global hydrological system. When ice forms in a river, it increases the wetted perimeter of the cross-sectional flow area, complicating the flow structure. These ice-related issues severely affect the capacity and efficiency of water conveyance. During the ice season, the river’s water level rises due to the increased flow resistance. The presence of an ice on the water surface not only raises the water level, sometimes causing ice flooding, but also leads to the noticeable deformation of the riverbed.
In recent years, remarkable progress has been made in the study of hydrology and hydraulics in cold regions. Numerous cutting-edge research achievements have been published concerning various aspects of river ice hydraulics and hydrological processes under ice conditions. To ensure that researchers continue this innovative work in the right direction, a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of ice on river hydrodynamics and hydrological processes focusing on ice dynamics is necessary.
This Special Issue calls for new contributions to raise the awareness of this topic, including, but not limited to, river ice hydraulics, ice dynamics, ice-induced riverbed deformation, interactions between river ice and structures, hydrological processes in cold regions, and the impact of climate change and human activities on ice processes. We welcome research on river and channel water transportation, sediment transport, ice floods, and the impact of ice on the environment and river systems in cold regions.

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.
