Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The vast majority of the world's population lives in areas where water security is at high risk. Due to rapid socioeconomic development and the overexploitation of water resources, the quality of the water environment is declining, and serious water pollution problems are occurring in some areas. In the future, increased demand and changes in precipitation patterns resulting from climate change will further exacerbate water pollution and water scarcity, posing a great threat to the water ecological environment and human health. This Special Issue focuses on the hot and difficult issues in water environment quality, highlights the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of water pollutants and their drivers, and discusses the issues of water pollution accident simulation and water pollution risk assessment. The findings included will provide important knowledge and a scientific basis for determining the trends in water quality changes, adopting management measures and establishing early warning mechanisms.
Topics for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Water quality assessment;
- Spatial–temporal variation in water quality in lakes, rivers, and reservoirs;
- Driving factor analysis of water quality variation;
- Simulation and early warning of sudden water environment accidents;
- Risk assessment of water quality;
- Study on the coefficient of water environment models;
- New technique for water quality or risk assessment.

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.
