Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, rural wastewater has come to pose a series great threats to environmental pollution and aquatic ecological safety. The discharges of rural sewage, animal breeding wastewater, and aquaculture tailwater, always result in many black and odorous water bodies and serious drinking water shortages, especially in developing regions. Cost-effective treatment technology ensures a wide applicability in rural areas around the world. Resource utilization is also a treatment method from some perspectives, one which can contribute to the cyclic uitilization of water and nutrient in rural wastewater. Villagers’ intention is remarkable resource with which to achieve the sustainable construction and management of rural wastwtaer treatment facilities.
In this Special Issue, articles summarizing the review, management, and treatment technology of rural water pollution are welcome. Understanding transformation characteristics and on-line monitoring of physical, chemical and biological processes is necessary for the removal of various pollutants from rural wastewater. Novel practices for improving treatment performances of constructed wetlands, bioreactors, membranes, soil purificaiton systems, et al., in addition to exploring organic solid waste treatment and resource utilization, are encouraged. In addition, the evalution of decentralized wastewater management modes is interesting and presents a challenge for overcoming the uncertainties with regard to improving wastewater treatment efficiency in rural areas.
