Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water treatment and wastewater treatment are very important to protect public health, environmental health, and the global economy since these treatment processes maintain safe and reliable water resources and may help promote sustainable development. Biological treatment technologies for water and wastewater treatment have been in existence for many years and are closely related to treatment performance efficiency, construction and operation costs, energy requirements, operational flexibility, and environmental impacts.
Recently, biotechnology has been explored for the improvement of water treatment and wastewater treatment processes. The challenge will be to couple treatment efficiency with sustainable development to remove contaminants in water as well as wastewater, produce renewable energy, and meet the increasingly stringent standards of regulatory agencies.
The aim of this Special Issue of Water is to present the latest reports on applications of current biotechnology processes that seek to enhance and improve water and wastewater treatment performance and to reduce the costs of treatment, whilst also potentially recovering energy. Authors are encouraged to present their original research and review papers in related areas.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Water is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
