Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Guest Editors are inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Hydrology titled “Soil–Water–City Nexus in Urban Environment: Experimental Investigations and Numerical Analysis in Urban Hydrology Science”.
Ongoing urban development has significantly changed the landscape, with consequent alterations to the hydrological processes in urban areas. These phenomena, coupled with very intensive rainfall events due to climate change, have increased the number of critical situations in urban areas, especially for water infrastructures such as urban drainage systems. This Special Issue will investigate the dynamics of these processes and explore topics related to recent advances in methods and techniques to improve resilience in urban areas, such as low-impact development techniques.
The main topics of interest for this publication are as follows:
- Stormwater qualitative–quantitative experimental investigations;
- Numerical modeling of urban drainage systems;
- Data analysis and numerical modeling of infiltration processes in the urban environment;
- Water resource optimization systems;
- Modeling of prediction and prevention of critical situations;
- Monitoring systems of hydraulic structures;
- Investigations of hydrological and hydraulic forecasting and management models;
- Life cycle assessment investigations.
Yours faithfully,
Prof. Patrizia Piro
Dr. Michele Turco

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. Hydrology 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.
