About this journal

Urban Water Journal provides a forum for the research and professional communities dealing with water systems in the urban environment, directly contributing to the furtherance of sustainable development. Particular emphasis is placed on the analysis of interrelationships and interactions between the individual water systems, urban water bodies and the wider environment. The Journal encourages the adoption of an integrated approach, and system's thinking to solve the numerous problems associated with sustainable urban water management.

Urban Water Journal focuses on the water-related infrastructure in the city: namely potable water supply, treatment and distribution; wastewater collection, treatment and management, and environmental return; storm drainage and urban flood management. Specific topics of interest include:

• network design, optimisation, management, operation and rehabilitation;
• novel treatment processes for water and wastewater, resource recovery, treatment plant design and optimisation as well as treatment plants as part of the integrated urban water system;
• demand management and water efficiency, water recycling and source control;
• stormwater management, urban flood risk quantification and management;
• monitoring, utilisation and management of urban water bodies including groundwater;
• water-sensitive planning and design (including analysis of interactions of the urban water cycle with city planning and green infrastructure);
• resilience of the urban water system, long term scenarios to manage uncertainty, system stress testing;
• data needs, smart metering and sensors, advanced data analytics for knowledge discovery, quantification and management of uncertainty, smart technologies for urban water systems;
• decision-support and informatic tools;
• socio-economic, policy and governance aspects of urban water management;
• innovative solutions to water challenges in both the developed and the developing world;
• urban water (water, materials and energy) in the circular economy

The readership of Urban Water Journal consists of international specialists in water and environmental science and engineering, and other relevant disciplines associated with urban infrastructure and the environment.

All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single anonymized and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
