Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent increases in the frequency and intensity of hydrologic extremes as a result of climate change exacerbated the negative effects of urban population growth by increasing the risk of flooding and infrastructure failure. In view of these challenges facing the communities, we need to predict the impacts of these nonstationary factors on urban water infrastructure, and to provide policy makers with robust and reliable information. The goal of this Special Issue is to focus on advances in understanding the potential impact of long-term climate/land use change or climate extremes on resiliency and reliability of urban water systems. We invite studies on urban–climate–land–water system interactions, including land use/land cover prediction, climate change impacts on water supply and quality, hydrologic and stormwater modeling and optimization, and resiliency and reliability of urban water systems in the face of nonstationarity in urban watersheds. Interdisciplinary studies involving integrated watershed management, and green infrastructure that have implications for flood management, water supply, and climate resiliency in urban watersheds are particularly invited.

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. Geosciences 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 1800 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.
