Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
By 2050, the global population is expected to increase by 32%. This increase in population, urbanization and industrialization alongside the changing climatic conditions will coincide with a rise in water demand and the production of wastewater. Comprehensive and sustained wastewater management is central to improved human health, food security, economic development, energy efficiency, an improved water footprint, the creation of jobs and poverty reduction. Therefore, novel technology ensuring efficient and effective wastewater management can play a pivotal role in environmental sustainability. With this vision, this Special Issue calls for classical contributions related, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Assessment and monitoring of wastewater impact on water resources.
- Treatment technologies for new and emerging contaminants.
- Wastewater management strategies for increased water demand.
- Technology interventions and management policies for reduced wastewater generation.
- Environmentally sustainable wastewater treatment technologies.
- Life cycle assessment of wastewater treatment technologies.
- Wastewater treatment for energy generation.
- Technology to ensure reduction in end products of wastewater treatment.
- Policy interventions for wastewater treatment.
- Wastewater management is an opportunity for improved health, hygiene and food security.
- Wastewater management under climate change.
- Novel technology for improved agricultural effluent treatment.
- Application of big-data and machine learning for wastewater management and treatment.
- Application of modelling strategies for wastewater management and treatment.
The Special Issue welcomes high-quality research related to the role of wastewater management in environmental sustainability.
