Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Continuous urbanization and industrialization have led to an increase in stormwater runoff, which has resulted in the discharge of heavy metals, nutrients, and organic chemicals. Transporting pollutants into water systems can harm both human health and aquatic species. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the theory and technology of pollutant control in urban water.
The purpose of this Special Issue “Urban Water Pollution Control: Theory and Technology, 2nd Edition” is to review the properties, transport, and fate of pollutants in urban aquatic systems, list and discuss occurrence and treatment efficiencies, develop new ways to control conventional pollutants and micropollutants, i.e., low-impact development and sponge city, and provide a report on the status and research needs of aquatic and multimedia models.
Papers on topics including but not limited to the following are welcome:
- Theory of fate and transport of pollutants in urban water;
- Control strategies and theory;
- Emerging pollutants in water;
- Low-impact development and sponge city;
- Physical–chemical remediation;
- Microbial remediation;
- Ecological restoration;
- Emergency restoration method;
- Climate change and resource recovery;
- Water quality monitoring.
In this field, research papers, reviews, and short communications will be accepted. Regarding original articles, only studies concerning the evaluation of environmental concentrations or, in general, with a high ecological impact, will be considered. This Special Issue will aim to collect articles that contribute to filling the knowledge gap related to the fate and transport of pollutants in urban water.

Manuscript Submission Information
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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
