Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The frequency of water pollution incidents and their accompanying hazards have generated new requirements for the emergency capacity construction of governments. Therefore, management departments and environmental experts are committed to developing novel water pollution monitoring and early warning response technologies to ensure water quality safety. With the development of big data, artificial intelligence, and environmental monitoring technology, the current water monitoring infrastructure is becoming increasingly sound, and the accumulation of monitoring data is becoming increasingly rich. The conditions for achieving intelligent monitoring and early warning supported by big data are mature. Under the monitoring of the sudden pollution monitoring–early warning–tracing technology system, conducting key technology research such as sudden pollution abnormal warning, optimizing the layout of emergency monitoring sections, and initiating the identification and risk analysis of emergency response projects is a hot issue and an urgent direction for intelligent monitoring and warning regarding water pollution. This Special Issue aims to evaluate and analyze the latest research progress in water pollution monitoring and early warning, modeling and management, and prevention and control, particularly water pollution monitoring, modeling and management based on big data and artificial intelligence.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Water pollution monitoring technology;
  • Water quality prediction model;
  • Water resource management;
  • Water pollution prevention and control.

As the management areas for NPS pollution continue to increase, it is essential to conduct a situation analysis considering the regional characteristics and the scope of pollution reduction. In this study, the focus is on differentiating regional (urban, agricultural) characteristics to enhance water quality and reduce pollution loads in the increasing management areas for NPSs. Furthermore, priority management areas are identified based on urgency and vulnerability, and management strategies are proposed. The assessment involved evaluating both streamflow and water quality (T-P) using long-term monitoring data and watershed models (SWAT and HSPF) that take into account regional characteristics. The results indicated notable regional improvements, with T-P pollution reductions ranging from 20.7% to 26.8% and T-P concentration reductions ranging from 16.4% to 24.7% compared to baseline conditions in unmanaged areas. Based on these research findings, it is anticipated that the efficient and effective management of NPS pollution can be implemented on a regional basis. Moreover, the results of this study will not only contribute to the establishment of pollution standards, but also significantly impact the evaluation and proposal of management objectives, thereby making a substantial contribution to national water quality policies.
