Climate Change Impacts on Urban Stormwater Management

Dear Colleagues,

Climate change has led to an increase in extreme rainfall events, which, combined with urbanization, is one of the main causes of urban flooding risk and water pollution.

The analysis of the climate change impact on rainfall characteristics, the consequences of urban flooding risk and water quality deterioration, and the possible mitigation and adaptation strategies are key aspects to investigate for urban stormwater management.

This Special Issue aims to gather contributions that deal with advanced studies on climate change effects, specifically urban flood risk, and on new, smart, and sustainable urban stormwater management strategies. The main topics of interest for this publication are as follows:

• Climate change impacts on rainfall events
• Spatial and temporal rainfall variability
• Urban stormwater management under climate change impacts
• Numerical modeling of urban drainage systems
• Criticalities analysis of urban drainage system
• Tools, methods, and models for urban flood risk mapping and management
• Stormwater qualitative-quantitative experimental analysis
• Real-time control approach efficiency for urban stormwater management
• Analysis of the effectiveness of sustainable solutions on urban runoff mitigation
• Life cycle assessment analysis

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Atmosphere 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 2400 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.
