Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Extensive research on isotope geochemistry in waters has been carried out during the last few decades, which has facilitated the study of hydrological processes, including the origins, movement, and age of water, as well as tracing environmental changes induced by anthropogenic activities. Isotopes of light as well as heavy elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, sulfur, strontium, and boron have widely proved to provide unique signatures that can be used to understand water sources, groundwater recharge, and contamination pathways. They are also helpful for identifying and understanding processes occurring within water bodies. In this Special Issue, we aim to fill gaps in the application of isotope geochemistry in water research by welcoming original studies on developing applications in water characterization, pollution, and environmental changes, as well as modeling or empirical studies aimed at improving our mechanistic understanding of short- and long-term chemical/isotope variations in global water systems. The submission of inter- and multidisciplinary original research and review papers is also encouraged.
Prof. Dr. David Widory

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.
