Water Reclamation and Reuse

Dear Colleagues,

With the growth of the global population and economy, water reclamation and ecological reuse are considered as potential mechanisms to alleviate water stress in some regions around the world. Environmental protection technologies related to water recovery and reuse, as well as natural resource protection, have gained attention in recent years. Innovative water treatment systems can remove pollutants in wastewater, such as organic matter, nutrients, micropollutants, microoranisms or even antibiotic resistance genes, and enable wastewater to be reused. The reuse of wastewater reduces the pressure on freshwater resources, as well as the pollution discharged into the water body.

The purpose of this Topic “Water Reclamation and Reuse” is to review the impact of global freshwater shortages, water resources management and monitoring practices, the most advanced water treatment technologies and the experience of reusing recycled water.

Papers are welcomed including, but not limited to, the following topics:

• Advancement in Water and Wastewater Treatment and Reuse;
• Big Data Analytics and Modeling;
• Desalination;
• Drinking Water Treatment;
• Emerging Pollutants in Water;
• Energy Recovery, Conservation, Optimization and Management;
• Industrial Wastewater Treatment;
• Municipal Wastewater Treatment;
• Odor Control;
• Residuals and Biosolids Management;
• Stormwater Treatment;
• Climate Change and Resource Recovery;
• Urban Water System;
• Water Quality Monitoring;
• Water Reclamation and Reuse.
