Geospatial Techniques for Urban Water Management

Dear Colleagues,

Urban water refers to all water that occurs in the urban environment and includes surface water, groundwater, water provided for potable use, sewage, drainage, stormwater, flood risk, wetlands, waterways, and estuaries in urban landscapes. Growing population and urbanization have led to problems associated with water quality, storm water management, flood control, environmental health, and related ecosystem impacts. Remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) techniques provide great opportunities and potential to assist in dealing with a wide range of issues facing water management in urban areas.

This Special Issue on “Geospatial Techniques for Urban Water Management” is specifically designed to highlight applied research currently being performed using satellite imagery, aerial photography, drone imaging, GIS-based mapping, spatial analysis, artificial neural networks, machine learning, and web-based applications to better understand and solve problems of urban water management. Manuscripts in the areas of urban waterways, water quality, pollution, stormwater, flooding and flood risk management, and other research related to wetlands, estuaries, and coastal water quality, are encouraged for this Special Issue.

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. Remote Sensing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
