Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sustainable urban stormwater management has been a hotspot research topic in the context of the global issues of rapid urbanization and a changing climate. Specifically, effective approaches to urban stormwater control, utilization and treatment are of significant importance for the mitigation of challenges faced regarding waterlogging and water pollution in urban areas. Holistic and nature-based technologies in urban stormwater control, utilization and treatment have been widely accepted and implemented around the globe, including strategies such as the green stormwater infrastructure (GSI), low-impact development (LID) practices, best management practices (BMPs), sponge city (SC) practice, sustainable urban drainage system (SUDS), water-sensitive urban design (WSUD), the Active Beautiful and Clean (ABC) Waters Programme, and several others.
Stormwater control, utilization and treatment measures can generally be classified into various retention-based, infiltration-based and filter-based types for both water quantity and water quality management purposes. Examples of these practices include, detention ponds, CSO tanks, wetlands, rainwater harvesting systems, green roofs, rain gardens, bioretention cells, permeable pavements, infiltration trenches, perforated pipes, and so on. Proper approaches to the planning, design, analysis, operation and maintenance of stormwater control, utilization and treatment facilities can enhance the resilience and adaption capacity of stormwater systems to urban flooding and contamination risks under climate change.
We therefore invite you to contribute manuscripts to our Special Issue “Urban Stormwater Control, Utilization and Treatment, 2nd Edition”. Original research, literature review or critical review papers are welcome. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- Stormwater management, policy and guidelines;
- Low-impact development (LID), green infrastructure, sponge city, nature-based solutions (NBS), sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS), urban water-sensitive design (UWSD);
- Blue-green hydrosystems;
- Integrated green-grey-blue infrastructure systems;
- Modelling of urban hydrologic and hydraulic processes;
- Assessing the hydrologic performance of stormwater control measures;
- Cost-effectiveness analysis of stormwater control measures;
- Assessing the reliability of rainwater harvesting systems;
- Optimal sizing, operation and maintenance of stormwater control facilities;
- Laboratory/filed studies on urban stormwater control, utilization and treatment;
- Numerical simulation (SWMM, HEC-HMS, Infoworks, MIKE, etc.) studies on urban stormwater control, utilization and treatment;
- Analytical derivations for the design and analysis of stormwater control facilities;
- Artificial machine techniques applied to urban stormwater control, utilization and treatment;
- Impacts of climate change on urban stormwater control, utilization and treatment and climate change adaptation strategies for urban stormwater management;
- Pollutant removal efficiency of urban stormwater control measures;
- Spatial–temporal scale effects on the modelling of stormwater control systems;
- Derived-distribution-based probabilistic approach to event-based modelling;
- Stormwater treatment technologies;
- Flood resilience of urban drainage systems;
- Innovative ways to recycle rainwater.

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. 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.
