We are delighted to welcome you to the 10th International Electronic Conference on Water Sciences (ECWS-10), which will be held online and promoted by the open access MDPI journal, Water (ISSN 2073-4441; IF 3.0).

In recent years, a series of nine (9) International Electronic Conferences on Water Sciences (ECWS-1, ECWS-2, ECWS-3, ECWS-4, ECWS-5, ECWS-6, ECWS-7, ECWS-8, and ECWS-9) have delved into a wide array of crucial water-related matters. The ninth conference zeroed in on the latest advancements in water sciences within a variable and evolving environment. Now, ECWS-10 aims to continue fostering scientific exchange and interdisciplinary dialogue on the most pressing challenges and emerging solutions in water sciences.

ECWS-10 cordially invites researchers, resource managers, and policy makers from academic institutions, as well as water and industry practitioners, to share their information in research, management, and policy making in water resources, original research findings, novel ideas, scientific concepts, and new technologies and experiences. This virtual conference focuses on contributions that should be relevant to the following topics, including, but not limited to:

S1. Hydrological/Hydraulic Processes and Modelling;
S2. Urban Water Modelling and Management;
S3. Rivers and Lakes—Water Quality, Nutrient Enrichment, and Pollutant Transport;
S4. Water Resources Management, Policy, and Governance;
S5. Extreme Hydrometeorological Events: Sources, Mitigation, and Adaptation;
S6. Ecohydrological Approaches and Ecosystems Conservancy—Water–Food–Energy Ecosystem Nexus;
S7. Remote Sensing, Artificial Intelligence, and New Technologies in Water Sciences;
S8. Wastewater Treatment and Reuse;
S9. Agricultural Water Systems;
S10. Groundwater Systems Modelling, Analysis, and Vulnerability—Quantity and Quality Issues.

This conference will be conducted entirely online to eliminate concerns about travel and associated costs for participants from across the globe. Attendance via remote means is available for people who are unable to travel due to financial constraints, childcare, or other scheduled obligations. An online format provides a platform that enables rapid and direct effective exchange of the latest research achievements and innovative concepts.

We deeply appreciate the continued support and enthusiasm of the global water scientific community. Your active participation is essential to the success of ECWS-10—and will also help lay a strong foundation for future editions to come.

We look forward to your contributions and to welcoming you to ECWS-10!

Kind regards,
Prof. Dr. Athanasios Loukas

Sessions

ECWS-10 will accept abstracts only. The accepted abstracts will be available online on Sciforum.net during and after the conference.

Important Deadline

1. Deadline for abstract submission: 3 July 2026.
2. Abstract acceptance notification: 31 July 2026.

Please note:
An abstract acceptance email only confirms that your abstract has been accepted. Oral or poster presentation invitations are determined separately by the conference chairs, and you will receive an additional email with the presentation result.

If you do not have an account, please register at www.sciforum.net. After logging in, submit your abstract using the “Submit Abstract” button on the conference homepage. No template is required.

Abstract Requirements

1. Types of Submissions
- Accepted: Original research abstracts; systematic reviews or meta-analyses abstracts (must comply with PRISMA 2020).
- Not accepted: Narrative, scoping, comparative, perspective, opinion, or essay-style reviews.

2. Content Requirements
- Length: 200–300 words.
- Structure: Introduction, Methods, Results, Conclusions.
- Language: Clear, publication-ready English.
- Originality: Must be original and unpublished; previously published abstracts will not be considered.

3. Authorship
- The submitting author must ensure all co-authors approve the content.
- Authors may submit multiple abstracts, but only one abstract per author may be selected for an oral presentation.

1. Each abstract must designate one presenter. To change the presenter, please contact us after you receive the oral/poster presentation invitation.
2. Only live presentations are accepted.
3. Presenters who do not attend the live session will not be eligible for awards or presentation certificates.

The slot for the oral presentation is 15 mins. We advise that your presentation lasts for a maximum of 12 mins, leaving at least 3 mins for the Q&A session.

Authors are encouraged to prepare presentations using PowerPoint or equivalent software for online display alongside their abstract. If provided, slides will be presented directly on the conference website via the Sciforum.net slide viewer and should be prepared in the same format as a traditional conference presentation of research results. All slides must be converted to PDF format prior to submission to ensure accurate online display.

Each presentation should:

- Communicate the research question or objective, methodology, key results, and scientific novelty;
- Use a clear and logical structure, typically Introduction-Methods-Results&Discussion structure (IMRaD) or a field-appropriate alternative;
- Emphasize the relevance of the work;
- Support key findings with clear figures or tables where appropriate;
- Conclude with a critical interpretation of the results and their impact.

Posters should be designed to allow independent understanding of the research and clearly present the essential elements of the study.

Each poster should include:

- Title, authors, affiliations, and contact details (clearly displayed at the top);
- Brief introduction outlining the research objective;
- Concise methodology summary;
- Main results, supported by clear, well-labeled figures or tables where appropriate;
- Short conclusion summarizing key findings and their relevance.

Technical specifications:
Dimensions (cm): 84.1 × 118.9 (A0 - portrait)
Resolution: 300 dpi
Pixel size (portrait, 300 dpi): 9933 × 14043 px

The poster template can be downloaded HERE. We will reach out to you closer to the dates of the conference with more information.
Note: The uploaded poster may be used as provided and serves as a reference. However, as long as the technical specifications are followed, scholars are welcome to use any poster template of their choice.

It is the author's responsibility to identify and declare any personal circumstances or interests that may be perceived as inappropriately influencing the representation or interpretation of clinical research. If there is no conflict, please state "The authors declare no conflicts of interest." This should be conveyed in a separate "Conflict of Interest" statement preceding the "Acknowledgments" and "References" sections at the end of the manuscript. Any financial support for the study must be fully disclosed in the "Acknowledgments" section.

MDPI, the publisher of the Sciforum.net platform, is an open access publisher. We believe authors should retain the copyright to their scholarly works. Hence, by submitting an abstract to this conference, you retain the copyright to the work, but you grant MDPI the non-exclusive right to publish this abstract online on the Sciforum.net platform. This means you can easily submit your full paper (with the abstract) to any scientific journal at a later stage and transfer the copyright to its publisher if required.
