Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water-related and soil-related hazards are known as natural disasters with high risk, individually or collectively, in that they can cause serious impacts on both civilizations and ecosystems. Water-related hazards like floods and droughts are becoming more severe and frequent under the impact of climate change. The soil-related hazards, like landslides and slope failures, usually occur without any previous notice, often causing property damage and casualties.
To secure our resilience from the abruptly changing world, it is necessary to understand the most recent data or techniques in order to prevent these types of disasters in advance. Recently, there have been attempts to advance the conventional hydrological methods based on big data analysis, machine learning, novel statistical methods, etc. In the geotechnical field, innovative sensors have been recently developed to measure the spatiotemporal responses of geomaterials.
The Special Issue titled “Advancements in Water and Soil Related Disaster Prevention: Exploring Emerging Topics and Innovations” aims to provide the latest advances in understanding extreme hydrological processes and characterizing geomaterials with innovative sensors and their applications, focusing on exploring the complex interplay between water and soil divisions through interdisciplinary research. Through these interdisciplinary investigations, the Special Issue seeks to contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the interplay between water and soil divisions and to identify pathways towards a more sustainable and equitable resource management. The topics covered by this special issue include, but are not limited to, novel approaches to rainfall-runoff processes; climate change impact assessment using big data; machine learning or artificial intelligence for floods and droughts; landslide forecasting; innovative sensor technologies; and advances in the characterization of geomaterials.

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.
