Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is well recognized that drinking water safety, to be achieved through appropriate treatment of raw water abstracted from surface and groundwater sources, is of paramount importance. However, the need to adopt a more holistic approach is not always realized and often poorly understood. In this context due attention should be paid to the protection of upstream water sources, adopting a rational first barrier approach.
Thus, this Special Issue focuses on a number of carefully selected contemporary issues on water resources protection and water safety. The objective is to disseminate rapidly the latest research and knowledge in this important area. The following areas are of particular interest:
- Water resources protection
- Surface water supply
- Groundwater supply
- Drinking water contamination
- Water governance
- Public drinking water
