Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the face of observed climate change, we are increasingly dealing with extreme hydrological phenomena, such as droughts and floods. Their assessment, modelling and prediction represent a significant challenge for the scientific community. Due to their profound effects, hydrological extremes are also of special interest to the general public, policymakers and natural event risk managers. Hence, the most pressing challenge currently is the development of a new generation of more accurate and reliable models that can estimate the impact of environmental changes on the frequency and magnitude of extreme weather events.
In this Special Issue of Water, we are particularly interested in studies presenting innovative approaches to the statistical modelling and analysis of hydrological extremes, namely floods and droughts. We invite authors to present their research on the following topics, among other related subjects:
- Univariate and multivariate extreme value analysis;
- Flood frequency modelling;
- Regional and global drought analysis;
- Assessment of uncertainties in hydrological observations;
- (Combined) use of various sources of data as in situ, satellite, climate model outputs, paleohistorical, etc.
- Projections of extreme hydrological phenomena;
- Compound events approach;
- Socio-environmental consequences of hydrological extremes;
- Vulnerability analysis of extreme events.

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.
