Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Computational methods are at the center of many fields of engineering and sciences. With the advances made in computer hardware and software technologies, the use of this approach is gaining more and more importance in the analysis and evaluation of very complex problems. Computers are also becoming smaller, faster, and cheaper, with the desired outcome of being more accessible to many engineers and researchers in diverse fields. One of these fields is the water resources field, which has the widest application range and covers an area from watershed applications to groundwater and surface water resources evaluations, to engineered systems applications, such as water distribution systems, and the list goes on. At the center of all these applications are the advances made in numerical and stochastic applications and algorithms used in these applications.
We also recognize that the field of water resources is common to all applications listed above. As such, the solution strategies and the problems encountered are also common. With this observation in mind, the aim of the proposed Computational Methods in Water Resources Special Issue in the Water journal is to create a forum of exchange among diverse fields of water resources applications that develop and use these computational methods and also, since the methodologies that are developed and used in one application area may also be useful and may easily find applications in other fields of water resources, provide an open repository of these algorithms in this Special Issue.

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.
