Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is often said that “water is life”. Water availability is fundamental to the industry, agriculture, living, and public health of many countries. However, according to the recently published report from world meteorological organization (WMO), more than 2 billion of the global population are still lacking access to clean drinking water, and 3.6 billion people are facing water inadequacy at least one month per year. Meanwhile, over 631 million people depend on drinking water sources which are seriously contaminated. To achieve long-term social, economic, and environmental well-being, protecting our water sources and implementing resource circulation of water sources are of great significance. This Special Issue aims to gather the research and case studies related to the successes, challenges, constrains, and perspectives of the environmental protection of water sources and/or resource circulation of water sources. Articles ranging from lab-scale studies to city scale applications are welcome. Integrated solutions and/or multidisciplinary studies across science, engineering, and social sciences are particularly encouraged.
Original research or review papers are invited in the following and related areas:
- Water source management;
- Water treatment methods and technologies;
- Water quality detection, evaluation and/or prediction models;
- Environmental protection policies for water sources;
- Risk assessment for water source;
- Economic and social aspects of resource circulation in water sources;
- Other related research issues.
