Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid development in industry and urbanization, water environmental pollution and ecological degradation in watersheds have become increasingly prominent, posing multiple challenges to the fields of ecological restoration and water pollution control. Moreover, the frequent detection of emerging pollutants (such as antibiotics, microplastics, and perfluoroalkyl substances) in water bodies presents potential threats to ecosystems and human health. In response to increasingly stringent environmental standards and the demands of sustainable development, the fields of ecological restoration and water pollution control require continuous innovation and research based on traditional techniques, which are necessary to advance related technologies toward greater efficiency and environmental friendliness.
This Special Issue aims to compile and showcase the latest and most innovative research findings in the fields of watershed ecological restoration and water pollution control, providing theoretical foundations and technical support for the sustainable development of this discipline. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel environmentally friendly materials;
- Greenhouse gas mitigation strategies in wastewater treatment technologies;
- Transport and control of emerging pollutants in watershed environments;
- Engineering applications of innovative ecological restoration technologies;
- Energy-efficient technologies for pollutants removal;
- Resource recovery technology;
- Development of intelligent watershed management systems.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
