Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water resources have always determined human civilization and development. The prosperity, decline, and migration of many civilizations are all because of water. Therefore, protecting the water resources means protecting the continuation and development of our human civilization.
For the development of new water treatment technologies in the future, we should focus on green, low-carbon treatment technologies, including water resource recycling and recycling of pollution matter as a reusable resource. We should not produce new or toxicological substances in the process of water treatment, such as in the coagulation process or some processes using fixed nanoparticles or recyclable nanoparticles. Moreover, these technologies can be applied rapidly to the actual treatment plants to bring real benefits to people.
For the natural environment, we should try to form a closed-loop state of material in the processes of human production, consumption, reproduction, and re-consumption. In this process, the total material and energy discharged over a long period should always be within the range that the natural environment can accept, so that human beings can truly form a harmonious and unified integration with nature.
