Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on water and environmental sustainability across diverse research fields. Addressing the world’s pressing water and environmental challenges is more critical than ever as we strive toward meaningful sustainable development for the benefit of future generations.
As part of our commitment to sustainability, this Special Issue seeks to showcase publications with a global perspective. It will serve as an essential platform for scientists, researchers, engineers, industry professionals, managers, and policymakers to engage, share, and exchange the latest scientific insights, management strategies, and engineering solutions related to water and the environment. These efforts support the implementation of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Sustainable management of global water and environmental issues is fundamental to achieving all SDGs, positively impacting our world and improving quality of life for all. Therefore, this Special Issue warmly welcomes contributions from experts across academia, research institutions, industry, non-governmental organizations, and government agencies. It offers an opportunity to share recent advancements in scientific knowledge, management approaches, and engineering innovations addressing water and environmental challenges.
