• Call Papers for “China Water Forum 2024” by MDPI

By; Muhammad Arif, Editor, NSN

London: MDPI, a leading publisher of open-access scientific journals, invites research papers for “China Water Forum 2024”, covering water issues; such as Climate change and hydrology, water problems and human–water relationship, Water environment and ecology, Water information technology and modeling, and other water matters.

“China Water Forum 2024”,

Affected by global climate change and rapid socio-economic development, China suffers from severe water security pressure, especially in terms of water shortages, flood disasters and water-related ecological and environmental problems. The solution to these problems requires comprehensive research across different disciplines.

Focusing on discussing China’s water issues, we carried out a series of academic exchanges over a long period. The well-known “China Water Forum”, launched in 2003 and held annually, focuses on discussing solutions to China’s water issues. By 2023, the forum was successfully held for 20 sessions. “Water Science Development Forum”, launched in 2007 and held annually, focuses on promoting the multidisciplinary integration of other disciplines with water science research. By 2023, the forum was successfully held for 16 sessions. “Water Science Lectures”, launched in 2021, is an open, shared and non-profit public welfare lecture. A report will be arranged for each lecture, which will be lectured and presided over by invited famous researchers.

The Editorial Department of Water Journal cooperates with “China Water Forum”, “Water Science Development Forum” and “Water Science Lectures” to set up a series of columns. At least one column is planned each year currently. The column established in 2024 is “China Water Forum 2024”. We welcome scholars and graduate students participating in the above-mentioned conferences, as well as scholars who study water issues in China, to submit full texts of their unpublished manuscripts. The received papers will be professionally peer-reviewed and recommended for publication by the editorial board.
