Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Effective water treatment technology is the key to achieving water safety and human health. All people having access to safe drinking water and improved water quality and wastewater management by 2030 are two of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Green and low-carbon technologies refer to technologies that achieve a satisfactory treatment effect under the condition of low carbon emissions and the generation of less pollutants. These technologies are considered to be essential to achieving the SDGs, so we propose focusing on these to follow the recent trends in water treatment technology. In this Special Issue, we seek submissions which focus on the interactions between green and low-carbon development and water treatment technology.

Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • New water and wastewater treatment technologies;
  • Green and low-carbon development strategies;
  • Water environment simulation models;
  • Environmental micro interface reactions.

By focusing on novel results regarding these above mentioned topics, this Special Issue will be able to provide a series of studies on water treatment technologies.

Pipe bursts in water distribution networks (WDNs) pose significant threats to the safety of distribution networks, driving attention to deep learning-based burst detection and localization. However, the applicability of different pressure features still needs to be compared and verified. A large number of nodes challenges deep learning with the excessive number of classification categories and low recognition accuracy. To address these problems, this paper extracts different burst pressure features, including pressure value, pressure difference, and pressure fluctuation ratio, and inputs one of these features into a Burst Diagnosis Multi-Stage Model (BDMM) based on three CS-LSTMs (a combination of the Cuckoo Search algorithm and a long short-term memory network). The first model addresses a binary classification problem, outputting labels indicating whether a pipe burst has occurred. The second one solves a multi-classification problem, outputting the label of the burst partition, and the third model also solves a multi-classification problem, outputting the ID of the bursting junction. The model is tested on a real network and outperforms ELM. For basic burst identification tasks using CS-LSTM, differences among the three features are minimal, while pressure difference and pressure fluctuation ratio exhibit superior performance to pressure value when resolving more complex problems like burst junction localization.
