Sustainable Water Management: Innovations in Wastewater Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on the development and application of innovative technologies, materials, and methodologies for the sustainable management of wastewater. It aims to address the challenges posed by increasing global water demand, urbanization, and environmental pollution, emphasizing efficient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective solutions.

Key topics include the following:

• Advanced Treatment Technologies: membrane filtration, advanced oxidation processes, and biological treatment systems.
• Material Innovations: adsorbents, catalysts, and nanomaterials for contaminant removal.
• Resource Recovery: the recovery of water, nutrients, and energy from wastewater.
• Nature-Based Solutions: constructed wetlands, bioreactors, and green infrastructure.
• Circular Economy in Water Management: approaches integrating waste reduction and resource reuse.
• Policy and Economic Aspects: sustainable strategies, life-cycle analysis, and cost assessments.
• Impact on Ecosystems and Health: addressing emerging pollutants like antibiotics, pharmaceuticals, and microplastics.

This issue seeks to carry out the following:

• Highlight cutting-edge research contributing to wastewater management solutions.
• Foster interdisciplinary collaboration to tackle water-related sustainability issues.
• Present case studies demonstrating real-world applications of novel techniques.
• Inform policymakers and stakeholders about viable practices and technologies for sustainable water management.
