Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue is to present the current state of knowledge on Urban Water Supply Systems. Currently, scientific methods are widely implemented in the water supply systems operation. Water network managers are increasingly aware of the benefits of implementing models and various procedures. Hydraulic and GIS models and their use in the aspect of water failure risk analysis are becoming more and more popular. Large water companies are implementing Water Safety Plans, while smaller companies are often just starting preparations for implementation.
In this Special Issue, articles relating to the issue of hydraulic modeling, failure analysis, and costs of functioning of collective water supply systems are expected. We also expect articles describing the implementation of Water Safety Plans, as well as others describing modern ways to improve the functioning of Urban Water Supply Systems. This Special Issue aims to collect in one place the best publications related to Urban Water Supply Systems, which would be helpful for people managing municipal water companies.

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.
