Sustainable Urban Water Management, Hydrology Restoration, and Water Quality Improvement

Dear Colleagues,

It is with great pleasure that we ask you to share your novel research results in the field of modeling and simulation, including hydrology, hydraulics, water quality, and ecology in a broad sense, in giving life to the Special Issue “Sustainable Urban Water Management, Hydrology Restoration, and Water Quality Improvement” of the journal Sustainability by MDPI. Urban water availability, urban flood mitigation, hydrology restoration, and water quality improvement are major environmental considerations affecting the status of the water environment and the human society within them. In addition, climate uncertainty adds complexity to work in sustainable management planning aiming to deal with the above urban water issues. Various water and environmental models are valuable tools in finding ways to solve urban environmental problems and mitigate the impact of land use, future climate, and socio-economic changes on urban water and the environment. Particularly, in the past decade, monitoring data have become increasingly available to improve models in representing actual performance/prediction processes and land and water management practices, towards an overall improvement of future planning and management of water-related environments. This Special Issue of Sustainability is envisioned to showcase the state of the art in the adaptation and use of observed data for hydrologic, hydraulic, water quality, and ecological models at different scales and climatic regions in urban areas and their application. We hope that new data/methods/models will help us to highlight recent progress in tackling real urban water environment problems and outline possible issues that need more focused research.

I look forward to receiving your contributions.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sustainability 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 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.
