Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue aims to bring together cutting-edge research, innovative methodologies, and case studies that address critical challenges in water resources management under climate change, aquatic ecosystem health and nature-based restoration, safe and resilient drinking water systems, sustainable wastewater management, and resource recovery. This collection seeks contributions from interdisciplinary fields, fostering a comprehensive understanding of sustainable water management practices.
This Special Issue invites contributions on water resources management. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Water Resources and Management
- Integrated water resources systems.
- Watershed modeling and sustainable allocation.
- Flood/drought forecasting and risk management.
- Urban hydrology and stormwater management.
- Monitoring, remediation, and groundwater protection.
- Water allocation, governance, and policy planning.
- Low-Carbon Water Treatment and Resource Recovery
- Source water protection and real-time monitoring.
- Emerging pollutants and drinking water safety.
- Nature-based and hybrid treatment systems.
- Nutrient (N, P) and water recovery technologies.
- Sludge valorization and circular economy.
- Energy-efficient and carbon-neutral treatment.
We welcome original research articles, reviews, and case studies addressing these critical challenges. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for interdisciplinary research that advances the sustainable management of water resources and the environment.
