Application of Machine Learning in Hydrologic Sciences, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, applications based on machine learning (ML) have been widely used to solve problems in different scientific areas. Within the current ML algorithms, support vector machines, Bayesian networks, and artificial neural networks, among others, can be mentioned.

Currently, there are many monitoring instruments/stations that allow a daily collection of hydrological data. Different ML-based models can be fed with these data to study/model the following: dam/water supply management, extreme events, natural/anthropogenic changes in lakes, transport of pollutants, drinking water quality, landslides induced by rain, etc.

The objective of this Special Issue on “Application of Machine Learning in Hydrologic Sciences, 2nd Edition” is to present current research on the aforementioned problems (but not limited exclusively to them) using machine learning.

We invite all researchers working in hydrological sciences and ML to submit research or review articles that demonstrate the significant potential of machine learning in this field.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
