Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Across the world, water stress levels remained safe at 18.6% in 2019. However, Southern Asia and Central Asia registered high levels of water stress at over 75%, whereas Northern Africa registered a critical water stress level of over 100%. Since 2015, water stress levels have increased significantly in Western Asia and Northern Africa (United Nations, 2022). Due to the above-mentioned issues, the sustainable management of water resources is essential for biodiversity conservation. In this sense, wastewater treatment for its reuse should be part of the solution to the problems of water scarcity and contamination, since treated wastewater can be used to replace freshwater for irrigation, industrial processes or recreational purposes. These can also be used to maintain environmental flow, and the by-products of their treatment can generate energy and nutrients.
This Special Issue of International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) focuses on the current state of knowledge on domestic wastewater (DW) and/or industrial wastewater (IW), with the knowledge that DW is discharged from housing and service areas, generated mainly by human metabolism and domestic activities, while IW wastewater is discharged from premises used for any commercial or industrial activity (e.g., desalination, food industry, textile industry and mining, among others). The submission of new research papers, reviews and case reports is encouraged. Papers that deal with new approaches to derive water resource standards or risk assessment and management are also welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
