New Methodologies and Practical Solutions to Face Sanitary and Environmental Issues Related to Human Cycle of Water

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Climate changes and worldwide demographic growth are the main factors responsible for increasing the water demand as well as worsening the quality of natural water resources. Advanced models and methods including remote sensing technologies, IoT techniques, green infrastructures for stormwater management, new monitoring systems, early warning models will be valuable tools to face the future challenges deriving from a sustainable management of water resources. At this regard, this special Issue seeks research papers proposing new efficient methodologies and practical solutions aimed at solving problems affecting any of the segments composing the human water cycle: water supply/treatment/distribution as well as wastewater drainage/treatment/ processes.

Climate change effects, water quality control and monitoring, physical and numerical modelling, environmental risk assessment and management, green technologies, biological processes, advanced water and wastewater treatments, wastewater based epidemiology methodology, sustainability and environmental policies are the main common factors that characterize the manuscripts published on this special issue.
