Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The journal Water invites submissions for a Special Issue titled "Application of Geospatial Information Systems and Technologies in Water Resources Management". This Special Issue aims to explore the innovative applications of Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) and related technologies in the management, analysis, and visualization of water resources.
Scope and Topics:
Over the past few decades, cities and rural areas worldwide have faced numerous challenges, including rapid population growth, climate change, and increasing rates of urbanization. Effective water resources management is essential to meet the growing demand for water in the face of these pressures. Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) and related technologies, such as remote sensing, GPS, and data analytics, play a crucial role in enhancing our understanding and management of water resources. These tools provide powerful capabilities for mapping, monitoring, modeling, and decision-making in water management, thereby contributing significantly to achieving sustainable development goals.
This Special Issue seeks high-quality original research articles, reviews, and case studies that showcase the applications of GIS and geospatial technologies in various aspects of water resources management. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- GIS-based hydrological modeling and simulation
- Remote sensing applications in water quality and quantity assessment
- Flood risk mapping and disaster management
- Groundwater modeling and management using geospatial tools
- Integration of GIS with Internet of Things (IoT) for smart water management
- Spatial analysis of water resources and watershed management
- Application of geospatial big data analytics in water resource management
- Climate change impacts on water resources analyzed through GIS
- Decision support systems for water resource planning and management
- Water conservation strategies and policy analysis using geospatial methods

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.
