Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue comprises selected papers from the Proceedings of the 2nd International Electronic Conference on Water Science (ECWS2), 16–30 November, 2017, on sciforum.net, an online platform for hosting scholarly e-conferences and discussion groups.
After the first electronic conference in water sciences (ECWS1) offered a wide range of topics, mostly related to the quality of water and the public supply of safe drinking water obtained from various resources, we found it appropriate to expand the scope of the conference to water that may have been exposed to various contaminations and may be intended for multiple uses. During this past year, our attention has been called to a variety of original case studies in which aquatic systems played central roles. New experimental and model approaches are largely contributing to improve our knowledge and capacity to supply answers to problems inherent to progress and development. This makes us look forward to stimulating scientific exchange and discussion.
Selected papers that attracted the most interest on the web, or that provided a particularly innovative contribution, have been gathered for publication. These papers have been subjected to peer review and are published with the aim of rapid and wide dissemination of research results, developments and applications. We hope this Conference Series will continue to grow in the acceptance and recognition by potential participants, contributors, experts who want to disseminate their latest findings, and readers who seek for information on relevant water science topics.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
