Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the continuous developments in intelligent hydraulic engineering, artificial intelligence and deep learning methods have been widely used in this field for automatic data perception, intelligent processing, storage, and analysis. The emergence of digital twin technology provides technical support for intelligent water conservancy project construction, covering functions ranging from forecasting to early warning, previewing, and preplanning and providing forward-looking, scientific, precise, and safe support for decision-making and management. Combined with traditional hydraulic engineering safety monitoring methods, such as geotechnical tests and numerical simulation, artificial intelligence algorithms, deep learning methods, and digital twin technology can help solve more complex problems, providing more accurate and professional intelligent analyses and ubiquitous services, which is of great theoretical significance and application value, ensuring project safety. Therefore, this Special Issue will focus on artificial intelligence, deep learning methods, and digital twin technology in hydraulic engineering construction. We would like to invite you to submit your research papers on suitable topics including but not limited to the following: hydraulic engineering information perception, intelligent processing methods of safety monitoring data, application of digital twin technology in hydraulic engineering, intelligent safety monitoring models, and systems of hydraulic engineering.

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.
