The continuous growth of urban areas and the increasing public awareness about environmental impact of stormwater raised high interest on quality impact on the receiving water quality. Indeed, in the last decades, large efforts have been provided for improving urban drainage systems in order to mitigate environmental impacts. During the last years the limitation linked to the traditional urban drainage scheme were pointed out and new approaches are developing introducing more natural methods for retaining and/or disposing of stormwater.

This virtual special issue will provide an attempt to share knowledge among experts in different water sectors working on the main aspects related to urban drainage management (i.e., urban water quality, sewer sediments, source control, stormwater management, combined sewer overflows, real time control of urban drainage systems, drainage in cold and alpine climates, and data and models for urban water).

Specific topics of interest include:

- recent studies on Best Management Practices (BMP) or Sustainable Urban Drainage System or Low Impact Developments;

- stormwater management, urban flood risk and resilience;

- monitoring, utilisation and management of urban water bodies;

- water-sensitive planning and design;

- interactions of the urban water cycle with city planning and green infrastructure;

- Water harvesting in urban areas;

- Data needs, acquisition and processing, knowledge discovery, quantification and smart technologies;

- decision-support and informatic tools;

- socio-economic aspects of urban water management;

- innovative solutions to water challenges in both the developed and the developing world.
