Urban Water Networks Modelling and Monitoring, Volume II

Dear Colleagues,

Innovation in information and communication technologies has had a large impact in the production of goods and in service provision. Urban water research and practice have received a boost thanks to the availability of new and advanced numerical models, increase in computing resources (especially distributed in clouds), and availability of cheap and reliable sensors that can be deployed through the system to trace its evolution. This Special Issue welcomes research papers dealing with new technologies and models to monitor and manage urban water distribution networks and drainage systems. Papers about new monitoring strategies and technologies, including both water quantity and quality aspects, are also welcome, as well as scientific reports regarding the application of optimization techniques to improve system management, report leakages, investigate water quality, and reduce energy consumption. Well-documented and internationally relevant case studies and practical field test reports could be a valuable addition to this Special Issue that aims to catch the interest of researchers in the water and IT sector as well as of water managers and practitioners.
