Urban Stormwater Harvesting, and Wastewater Treatment and Reuse

Dear Colleagues,

The world population is expected to reach about 10 billion by 2050, 70% of which is expected to live in urban areas. This further exacerbates already dire water availability issues in urban areas. In this context, the treatment and recycling of wastewater and stormwater treatment and harvesting play a critical role in providing water security to urban areas. In Australia, only about 15% of wastewater is recycled. Similar levels of recycling are currently being practiced around the world. To achieve the Sustainable Development Goals set out by the UN, particularly with respect to UN SDG 1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 12 and 13, these recycling rates need to be significantly increased. In light of this need for increased recycling of water and stormwater harvesting, this Special Issue is seeking submissions from leading researchers around the world who are working on innovative solutions for increasing the recycling of wastewater and stormwater harvesting. In this Special Issue, a special emphasis will be placed on urban water balance studies.
