Selected Papers from the 2nd International Electronic Conference on Water Science

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue comprises selected papers from the Proceedings of the 2nd International Electronic Conference on Water Science (ECWS2), 16–30 November, 2017, on sciforum.net, an online platform for hosting scholarly e-conferences and discussion groups.

After the first electronic conference in water sciences (ECWS1) offered a wide range of topics, mostly related to the quality of water and the public supply of safe drinking water obtained from various resources, we found it appropriate to expand the scope of the conference to water that may have been exposed to various contaminations and may be intended for multiple uses. During this past year, our attention has been called to a variety of original case studies in which aquatic systems played central roles. New experimental and model approaches are largely contributing to improve our knowledge and capacity to supply answers to problems inherent to progress and development. This makes us look forward to stimulating scientific exchange and discussion.

Selected papers that attracted the most interest on the web, or that provided a particularly innovative contribution, have been gathered for publication. These papers have been subjected to peer review and are published with the aim of rapid and wide dissemination of research results, developments and applications. We hope this Conference Series will continue to grow in the acceptance and recognition by potential participants, contributors, experts who want to disseminate their latest findings, and readers who seek for information on relevant water science topics.
