Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water managers and governments worldwide are facing similar challenges: how to meet the growing demands for water, food, and energy sustainably in a changing environment. Efficient reservoir operation techniques are vital for water resources and energy development and utilization. However, uncertainties have always characterized reservoir operations due to the inevitable uncertainty caused by various factors, such as measurement errors, model structure and parameter diversity, and climatic and hydrologic variability, among others. These uncertainties pose significant risks, particularly in light of current and future uncertainties related to climate change and rapid societal, ecological, and economic changes.
Successful operations of reservoirs and water resources require a comprehensive understanding of modeling-related uncertainties and the integrative application of artificial intelligence technology to generate sustainable solutions for water, food, and energy systems in a changing environment. The main themes of this Special Issue include but are not limited to the following: (I) water, food, and energy systems, (II) reservoir control operation, (III) integrated water resources management, (IV) changing environmental evaluation, (V) modeling uncertainties and their effects, (VI) risk assessment and reduction, (VII) artificial intelligence methods, and (VIII) system optimization analysis.
Original field and experimental research papers, review papers and case studies are invited for submission.

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.
