Small Scale and Decentralized Wastewater Treatment and Reuse within the Concept of Circular Economy
This special issue belongs to the section “Wastewater Treatment and Reuse“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Our goal is to plan a Special Issue on “Small Scale and Decentralized Wastewater Treatment and Reuse within the Concept of a Circular Economy” to be published in Water. The manuscripts, which will be selected for publication, will demonstrate the state-of-the-art in wastewater treatment technologies, including various aspects related to wastewater treatment technologies, water reuse suitable for small scale and decentralized systems, recharge of wastewater to the underground and how these affect the circular economy concept. It will also include innovative onsite treatment and reuse systems, where the circular economy approach is shown at a household level.
