Aquatic Ecological Monitoring and Wastewater Treatment in Agricultural Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Water quality and ecological management are the most important components of the agricultural economy and system development. In addition, facilities that can deal with pollutants generated by agriculture are also of great importance (e.g., wastewater treatment facilities), due to the possibility that another harmful compound may be produced as a result of agricultural processes. Various organic and inorganic compounds that are used to grow crops are, as a result of rainfall, likely to enter nearby rivers or streams as nonpoint pollutants, which adversely affects the agricultural ecosystem. However, studies of predictive techniques are needed because precipitation is frequent and has become unpredictable due to climate change. Agriculture has the longest history among numerous industries and is both directly and indirectly related to the development of human life. Therefore, for agricultural growth, it is necessary to make predictions regarding the agricultural aquatic ecosystem in terms of its response to various environmental changes, and this can be achieved through the use of modeling techniques combined with data on water quality and ecological monitoring results. This Topic will focus on monitoring and modeling for water quality, ecosystem, wastewater facility, phytoplankton and zooplankton, taste order compounds, nonpoint sources, and anthropogenic impact. We welcome novel research, reviews, and opinion pieces covering all related topics.
