Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Stormwater management remains a challenge in many regions of the world, despite the extensive research and development measures that have been undertaken. In the context of the circular economy, there has been a shift in mindset to treat stormwater not just as waste that needs to be disposed of immediately, but also as a resource. Continuous efforts to manage rainfall runoff in a more sustainable way have also led water engineers and designers towards nature-based solutions, green stormwater infrastructures, and low-impact development. These approaches promote the use of ecosystem services to protect, sustainably manage, and restore the natural and built environments, while also mitigating the effects of climate change through carbon sequestration and storage. Research within these themes is highly encouraged.
This Special Issue will also focus on smart water distribution networks that involve sensing, data collection and management, and real-time monitoring. Topics involving artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and deep learning in relation to stormwater management and water distribution networks are also welcome.

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.
