Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The water pump station system includes a water pump, power machine, transmission equipment, pipeline system, and corresponding buildings. Water pump stations have played an important role in agricultural irrigation, urban water supply, and regional water transfer.
Research on pump stations has been carried out continuously, and new challenges and demands emerge over time. This research field covers multiple disciplines and requires a mutual exchange of knowledge and experience. The purpose of this Special Issue is to report the latest research progress on pumping station systems, especially some potential applications in operation stability and energy transformation. This includes a new design concept for the pump station, methods for upgrading and transforming the existing pump station, research on hydraulic transients of pipe networks during operation of the pump station, and research on pump efficiency and stability. The proposal of special solutions or experiences linked to problems arising from the long-term operation of existing pump stations is also welcomed. Paper can be related to physical-scale models, numerical calculations, field measurements, and operation experience. Contributions focusing on environmental issues and sector coupling for multipurpose application of pump station systems are welcome. Additional topics of interest include digital twins and predictive maintenance.
We look forward to receiving your contributions on the increasingly important topic of the pump station systems.

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.
