Ecohydraulics for Healthy Water Solution

Dear Colleagues,

Research in ecohydraulics is currently growing rapidly around the world and becoming interdisciplinary. The ecohydraulics studies have put much effort into conservation measures such as natural-based solutions and modification of historic infrastructure towards a healthy aquatic ecosystem. This Special Issue in Water centers on ecohydraulics to restore the functions of the aquatic environment. The subject areas in this Special Issue are diverse and may originate from various scientific and engineering disciplines. This Special Issue will focus on the inter-correlations between aquatic species (e.g., fish, mussel) and hydraulics (i.e., habitat suitability); the interaction between flow/sediment transport and habitat structures (e.g., boulders, cylinders, vegetation, woody log); the hydrodynamics of fishways (e.g., nature-like, technical) for aquatic connectivity; the role of turbulence on aquatic species; mixing in rivers and its effect on aquatic species; the relationship between habitat metrics and extreme flow events, and so on. The Special Issue aims to publish innovative strategies on fundamental scientific research and applications in ecohydraulics integrating multi-faceted approaches (e.g., laboratory experiments, numerical modeling, field studies).

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.
