Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ongoing dynamic changes in the natural environment are reflected in the course of processes and phenomena of its individual components. In the case of water, this is evident, among other things, through the increase in extreme situations, i.e., both increasingly common water deficits in many regions of the world and, on the other hand, destruction caused by floods.
To understand the scale of transformations of individual elements of the hydrographic network, long-term analyses are essential, addressing issues such as water level oscillations, water flow, thermal regime, ice phenomena, and water quality. An important issue remains the transformation of inland waters in the context of hydrobiological conditions and the adaptation of plants and animals. Long-term changes in aquatic ecosystems occur under the influence of climatic conditions as well as human activity, and a detailed assessment of the scale and intensity of these processes allows for actions aimed at their reduction or elimination. Therefore, knowledge of the elementary processes of inland waters forms the basis for optimal management of water resources, both in quantitative and qualitative terms.
We encourage all authors dealing with the subject of inland waters to publish their research in this special issue. Knowledge of the responses and rate of changes occurring within them, besides its purely scientific nature, can also have an applicative character, providing the necessary basis for undertaking remedial actions aimed at slowing down adverse processes.

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. Resources is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1600 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.
