Sustainable Water Management and Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

Sustainable water resource management still attracts interest at the international level, even though there are clear regulations, policies, and strategies for water quality protection. Moreover, the Sustainable Strategy Horizon 2030 defines, among other sustainable goals, the goal to “ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all”, with targets concerning water quality, water-use efficiency, and water resources management that should be achieved. Priority inorganic and organic pollutants may significantly influence ecosystems and human health, even in small amounts or traces. Thus, sustainable withdrawals, supply of fresh water, and integrated water resources management at all levels, including transboundary cooperation, are highly envisaged.

On the other hand, water quality monitoring and pollution prevention should be current practices at the global level so that the good status of water resources can be ensured. Water pollution control and advanced treatment technologies should be addressed at effluent discharges of inorganic and organic compounds that should be a priority and emerging pollutants classes such as pharmaceuticals and personal care products, pesticides, heavy metals, and detergents that may influence aquatic biota and the performance and costs of water and wastewater treatment plants.

Based on these aspects, papers, reviews, and research are invited to be published in this issue, offering the opportunity to create an international scientific impact and address new research questions and future approaches and collaborations.
