Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Efforts to adopt and advance holistic approaches in the management of water and energy systems is of particular significance in the move towards a sustainable and carbon neutral future. Grounded by relevant literature and acknowledged by policy initiatives, such integrated management schemes exploit interdependencies among water and energy systems for improving inter alia their environmental performance, reliability, security of supply, efficiency and cost effectiveness.
This Special Issue welcomes research articles and critical reviews advancing the knowledge on coupled water and energy systems modelling using optimization techniques, or demonstrating innovative applications of integrated water and energy management schemes, on a local (e.g., a remote community) or national level and at a unit (e.g., a pumped hydroelectric storage facility) or network scale. We also encourage the submission of papers that identify, analyse and address challenges emerging from forecasting uncertainty, either on the demand or supply side, and with regards to the application of demand response strategies, on the basis of the sector-coupling concept and within the water–energy nexus research topic.

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.
