Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water and wastewater treatment is one of the primary focuses of any economy. The existing methods of water treatment, such as conventional coagulation, flocculation, sand filters, membrane filtration, etc., are being widely used, but as lifestyle and industrial enterprises are changing, new and emerging contaminants are also becoming prevalent. To tackle this unending load of conventional pollutants and new contaminants such as pesticides, drugs, microplastics, and others, we need new materials and techniques or a combination of techniques. Advanced materials may be new flocculants, coagulants, membranes, metal–organic hybrid materials, hydrogels, or any other material reported to efficiently remove water/wastewater contamination. Advanced technologies may include membrane filtration, coagulation, flocculation, electrocoagulation, desalination, or any other such technique applicable for selective or overall pollutant load reduction from water/wastewater systems. They may also include water filters, recycling, and any process or technology which may be helpful in addressing water/wastewater treatment issues.

Manuscript Submission Information
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.
