Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Collaborative research on basin–urban flood disasters is of crucial significance and is an urgent necessity for enhancing disaster prevention and mitigation capabilities. Extreme rainfall and flood evolution in the upstream basin directly constrain the flood risk of the urban area, while the hardened urban surface and drainage behavior have significantly changed the runoff generation and collection patterns of floods. This dynamic interaction often leads to a sharp amplification of disasters in the intersection area. Collaborative research can integrate natural and social systems, integrate meteorological–hydrological–water dynamic models and urban infrastructure data, and systematically reveal the disaster-causing mechanism of the "basin–urban" composite system, accurately simulating the spread of floods and the process of internal flooding. The main research topics include river basin floods, urban waterlogging, urban flood disaster, urban stormwater management, urban low-impact development, sponge city design and construction, urban hydrological cycles, urban water security, urban water resources, urban rainwater harvesting, urban water environments and water ecology, cause analysis of urban flood disasters, disaster loss evaluation, rainstorm–flood emergency technology, urban rainstorm–flood countermeasures, risk assessment and management of urban flood disasters, etc. Research articles, review articles, or other articles in related fields and research topics are highly welcome.

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. Water 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 2600 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.

Against the backdrop of rapid urbanization, urban sewer networks face increasing challenges, including infrastructure deterioration and imbalanced resource allocation. Conventional single-dimensional risk assessment methods fail to capture the coordinated development of such complex systems. This study proposes a comprehensive HFM framework integrating Health (H), Failure (F), and Management (M), coupled with a Coupling Coordination Degree (CCD) model and an obstacle degree model to evaluate system interactions and identify key constraints. A game theory-based weighting approach combining AHP and CRITIC is applied to integrate subjective and objective weights, while fuzzy mathematics is used for multidimensional evaluation. CCD spatial analysis is conducted at the drainage unit scale. Results show that: (1) The system is in a transitional stage from disorder to coordination, with CCD values mainly ranging from 0.4 to 0.8 and exhibiting significant spatial heterogeneity. (2) High-risk areas tend to have better health conditions and stronger management inputs, whereas low-risk areas may still face latent risks due to insufficient management. (3) Key obstacles are concentrated in Failure and Management systems, particularly pipeline functionality and management capacity. Overall, system risk arises from mismatches between risk sources and management allocation rather than purely structural deficiencies. The proposed framework effectively identifies imbalance areas and priority interventions, supporting the transition toward proactive risk regulation. Full article
