Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sustainable water management and urban drainage systems are essential to reduce flood risks and ensure continuous water supply. However, they have been experiencing various problems including, but not limited to, climate change, population growth, urbanization, and resource depletion. All these problems are jeopardizing the efficiency of water management and the performance of urban drainage systems. In order to sustain our cities, it is important to seek a way to establish strategies for sustainable water management and urban drainage systems.
There have been a number of studies discussing sustainable water management and urban drainage systems separately. A sustainable water management approach is a good way to predict water cycles and get information on optimal design in cities, which will build a foundation toward sustainable urban drainage systems. Hence, it is now necessary to look for multidisciplinary decisions for the optimal design and management of resource-efficient urban drainage systems. This Special Issue aims to collect papers focused on new research results regarding “Sustainable Water Management and Urban Drainage Systems”.
The goal of this Special Issue is to contribute a broad range of research related to, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Predicting water cycle characteristics and climate change;
- Advancing simulation/experiment and control of urban drainage systems;
- Modelling sustainable urban water management;
- Development of urban flood risk assessment methods;
- Development of urban water cycle techniques through infiltration/retention activation;
- Comprehensive decision making using a system dynamics approach.

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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
