Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid digitalization of the water sector is providing unparalleled opportunities for improved surveillance and modelling. Real-time water quality surveillance provides a unique insight into the aquatic environment and treatment processes, enabling better understanding and leading to environmental and socioeconomic benefits for various stakeholders. Innovative monitoring concepts, in combination with advanced data sciences, provide a whole new world of surveillance and modelling opportunities to water professionals. Lab-on-a-chip, noninvasive analysis, surrogate measurements, and various spectrometric tools are examples. They also make water quality monitoring more accurate and affordable.
Enhanced water quality monitoring provides a unique and affordable way for the early warning of anomalies—both natural and man-made. The broader availability and use of real-time monitoring, enabling the advanced automation of critically important processes, also make them more vulnerable to process failures as a result of instrumental errors due to both natural disturbances and human-made disasters.
In this context, it is important to share new knowledge in order to contribute to the development of the water sciences. The purpose of this Special Issue is to create a forum to share the latest innovations and research among the various stakeholders in the water industry.

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.
