Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The 21st century has brought about many challenges for humankind, among which demands for the continuous availability of safe water takes priority. Water is a unique and unreplaceable natural resource that is crucial for human health and wellbeing, and despite this fact, each day we are witnessing human interruptions to the water cycle, where water pollution is one of the major negative ones.
The World Economic Forum ranks the water crisis in the top three global risks, while the General Assembly of United Nations (UN) has proclaimed the period from 2018 to 2028 as the UN Water Action Decade in order to improve educational outreach related to water and water pollution control and to improve communication to achieve water-related goals.
For the achievement of those ambitious goals, effective water treatments, i.e., the effective removal of nutrients and pollutants from wastewater, should be applied prior to the discharge of wastewater into ecosystems.
As the Guest Editor for this Special Issue, “Novel Approaches to Nutrient and Pollutant Removal from Wastewater (Volume II)”, I have the honour of inviting you to publish a feature paper in Water, as a contribution to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals, especially regarding Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation.
Within this framework, for this Special Issue, I would like to invite original research contributions, review articles, as well as short communications that emphasize and give an overview of the novel approaches to wastewater treatment, especially those focused on the latest achievements and novel techniques, materials, and methods for effective nutrient and pollutant removal from wastewater. Please feel free to reach out to me or [email protected] should you have any questions.
Prof. Dr. Mirna Habuda-Stanic
Guest Editor
