Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the global population rises, increased urbanization and climate changes are resulting in greater pressures on freshwater resources than ever. Water stress and water risk worldwide is driven by the compounding water scarcity and deteriorating water quality. Improving water and wastewater treatment should be considered as part of the sustainable solution to the ongoing water crisis. Innovative technology in water and wastewater treatment has a vital role to address traditional and emerging threats to water resources. Global research focusing on developing and adopting promising treatment technologies is underway. There is growing momentum to improve water efficiency and water quality, especially in exploring alternative water resources, preventing pollution, eliminating emerging contaminants from water, improving water monitoring, recovering nutrients from wastewater, increasing safety in wastewater reuse and improving the energy efficiency of water treatment.
The present Special Issue intends to bring recent research that exploring the potential of advanced technologies applied in the treatment of wastewater and drinking water. We welcome the submission of fundamental and applied research coving multidisciplinary topics, as well as review papers in relevant topics. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Conserving and recovering nutrients and resources from water treatments;
- Intelligent water unities operations;
- Mathematical or machine-learning modelling of water treatments;
- Analysis and fate of emerging contaminants in water treatments;
- Low-cost and energy-saving water treatment strategies;
- Development of novel physical, chemical and biological technologies in water treatments (advanced oxidation, nanotechnology, new materials, etc.);
- (Eco)toxicity assessment of water reuse;
- Treatments of non-conventional water resources (e.g., rainwater and seawater);
- Engineering applications of innovative water treatments.

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.
