Special Issue Information
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.

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.
