Water Pollution Monitoring, Control, and Prevention

Dear Colleagues,

The frequency of water pollution incidents and their associated hazards have created new demands for governments to strengthen emergency response capacity. With this, management departments and environmental experts are committed to developing novel water pollution monitoring and early warning response technologies to ensure water quality safety. Furthermore, with the development of big data, artificial intelligence, and environmental monitoring technology, the current water monitoring infrastructure is becoming increasingly robust, and the accumulation of monitoring data continues to grow. The conditions for implementing intelligent monitoring and early warning supported by big data are now established. In a sudden pollution monitoring–early warning–tracing technology system, key technological research areas include abnormal sudden-pollution warning; optimizing the layout of emergency monitoring sections; and initiating the identification and risk analysis of emergency response projects. These are pressing research areas for intelligent monitoring and warning of water pollution. This Special Issue aims to evaluate and analyze the latest research progress in water pollution monitoring and early warning, modeling and management, and prevention and control—particularly in water pollution monitoring, modelling, and management based on big data and artificial intelligence.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Water pollution monitoring technology;
• Water quality prediction model;
• Water resource management;
• Water pollution prevention and control.
