Stormwater Management in Cool and Cold Climates

Dear Colleagues,

Whilst there is no single definition of cool climates, there is a commonality in research themes, challenges, and questions that brings together those working on stormwater research in these regions. Does your research address topics such as managing winter precipitation, infiltration into frozen/partly frozen grounds or maintaining system performance under multiple thawing/freezing cycles? Are you focused on the impacts of de-icing materials in receiving waters or the multifunctional use of ‘green–white’ infrastructure from engineering, hydrological, environmental, societal, institutional, or financial perspectives? What are the challenges facing stormwater management in your regions—particularly in terms of climate change-driven impacts on weather patterns—and how can stormwater management systems be adapted to maintain their current performance or contribute to new, innovative approaches to managing urban water cycle needs? In this Special Issue, we welcome papers on all of these topics at all geographic scales, including transboundary. We also invite contributions that describe novel analytical methods, data analysis approaches, and use of advanced modeling methodologies to better understand the complex relationships between climate and stormwater management under current and future scenarios.

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. 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.
