Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wastewater is a potential source of massive contaminants, including pharmaceuticals, personal care products, pesticides, microplastics, and nutrients, causing the eutrophication of surface water to the environment. On the other hand, wastewater is a great resource for producing energy and energy sources such as electrical energy, methane gas, and hydrogen gas. For example, ammonia has recently gained much attention for the production, storage, and transport of hydrogen; thus, much research effort has lately been devoted to the use of the ammonia content of wastewater for energy production. As environmental engineers, it is of great importance for us to protect the health of humans, animals, and ecosystems by removing contaminants, as well as to produce green energy by recycling resources from wastewater. Therefore, it is very important to compile recent advances in the decontamination of micropollutants from wastewater, and energy production using wastewater as a resource to provide environmental engineers with sound water management technologies for a more sustainable development. As a consequence, we will collect papers on the current technologies for micropollutant treatment in wastewater and energy production technologies using the resources present in wastewater.

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.
