Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Safe and reliable drinking water is a prerequisite for a prosperous life and economic welfare. The sources of potable water are manifold depending on the location in which we live. In any case, such drinking water sources are interconnected with the regional (often urban) water cycles, and they mirror the quality of local surface, ground, or coastal waters. In the context of dynamic urban growth, rapid industrial development and climate change, such water sources are becoming more vulnerable with respect to both quantity and quality. In addition to sustainable management of water sources, there is an urgent need for proper and safe water quality control measures, as well as for energy-efficient and reliable water treatment processes. This Special Issue aims at highlighting recent studies and advances in water quality assessment and water quality characterisation, as well as in innovative and naturally based and adapted water treatment technologies. Manuscripts might be related to the selective removal of individual target compounds (inorganic, as well as organics), chemical and microbiological method development for the detection of health relevant water compounds, as well as advanced characterisation of bulk organic matter. Abstracts on water reclamation techniques for potable use, as well as innovation in conventional and/or advanced drinking water treatment processes, are also welcome for submission.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
