Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Safe and sufficient water directly determines people's health and quality of life. Due to industrial pollution, agricultural pollution, urban drainage, etc., the freshwater ecosystem has confronted eutrophication, blackening, malodor, heavy metal pollution, and other issues, which have seriously affected the quality of the urban ecological environment and the living environment of residents. This Special Issue of Water focuses on the current state of research on water pollution control, especially on the ecological restoration of degraded lakes, rivers, ponds, lagoons, etc., for the sustainable management of both urban and rural waters.
Ecological restoration techniques for improving water quality involve a mixture of physical, chemical, and technological methods, such as dredging, flushing, aeration, adsorption, disinfection and phytoremediation, and microbial remediation. Proper assemblage of multiple techniques is of practical importance to ensure the success of restoration and long-term stability. The innovation of material and equipment, the revealing of the mechanism and pathway, as well as the monitoring and evaluation of water and ecological parameters have thus brought about a continuous development momentum and research hotspots for the ecological restoration of water pollution.
This Special Issue aims to collate high-quality papers emphasizing the different aspects and findings of water pollution control and ecological restoration.
