Monitoring and Modelling of Contaminants in Water Environment
This special issue belongs to the section “Water Quality and Contamination“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Affected by climate change and human activities, the water environment in watersheds has changed greatly. Water environment protection is of the utmost importance in ensuring national water security. In order to carry out the work of water environment protection more effectively, it is necessary to master the evolution process of the water environment in the basin under the new situation. Accurate monitoring and modelling of the evolution of water quality is a prerequisite for water safety protection. The Special Issue mainly focuses on water quality monitoring and the development of new technologies for water quality simulation. The proposal for the Special Issue aims to strengthen water environment control through new technologies and achieve timely control and early warning of water quality pollution. In view of that, the editors of the Special Issue encourage researchers to obtain interesting results on this topic and to submit high-quality manuscripts, including review papers, regular research articles, interesting images, and communications in the fields of monitoring and modelling of contaminants in water environments.
Papers on all relevant topics are welcome, including but not limited to the following:
- Methods, theories, and systems for water quality monitoring;
- Methods, theories, and systems for water quality modelling;
- Environmental risks associated with pollutants;
- Source and sink characteristics of pollutants in the environment;
- Pollution reduction and water quality control.

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.
