Special Issue on Urban Water Management

Urban Water Management refers to the planning, development, distribution, and governance of water resources within urban environments to ensure sustainable supply, efficient usage, and effective wastewater treatment. It encompasses integrated approaches to managing drinking water systems, stormwater, and sewage infrastructure while addressing challenges such as rapid urbanization, climate change, flooding, and water scarcity. The field combines engineering, environmental science, and policy frameworks to optimize water cycles in cities, promote resource conservation, enhance resilience, and protect public health and urban ecosystems.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Urban Water Management. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Water supply systems
• Wastewater treatment
• Stormwater management
• Urban flood control
• Integrated water resources management
• Urban hydrology
• Water distribution networks
• Sewerage system design
• Water quality management
• Groundwater management
• Rainwater harvesting
• Sustainable urban drainage systems
• Urban watershed management
• Water reuse and recycling
• Climate change adaptation
• Smart water systems

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Urban Water Management” should be selected during your submission.
