Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Amidst the rapid pace of urbanization, urban waterlogging has emerged as a pressing global challenge. This phenomenon threatens the efficiency of urban operations and the quality of life for residents and may compromise the health and resilience of urban ecosystems. In response to this issue, in-depth research into preventing and controlling urban waterlogging has become especially important, establishing itself as a key area of study in urban water management.
In addressing this challenge, researchers and practitioners worldwide have made significant progress through interdisciplinary approaches, utilizing state-of-the-art models, 3S technology (Remote Sensing, Geographic Information Systems, and Global Positioning Systems), and big data analytics. These methods enable precise identification of urban waterlogging risks, the scientific construction of urban stormwater drainage systems, enhanced forecasting and response capabilities to waterlogging, and the integration of resilience management into urban planning and construction.
In this context, we warmly invite researchers, practitioners, and policymakers globally to contribute their latest research, insights, and case studies in urban waterlogging prevention and control. By uniting efforts across disciplines, we aim to foster innovation and develop solutions that enhance urban resilience against extreme rainfall. Submissions are welcomed on a variety of topics, including but not limited to the causation and risk assessment of urban waterlogging, prevention and control strategies, applications of green infrastructure and smart technologies, and the efficacy of policy frameworks.

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.
