Advanced Harmful Algal Bloom Control and Sustainable Water Supply

Dear Colleagues,

Today, continuous and frequent harmful algal blooms in eutrophic waters are one of the biggest environmental issues of this millennium. Thus, a cost-effective control strategy of harmful algal blooms (HABs) is more attractive for sustainable water supply, as well as aquatic organisms and human health. This Special Issue will focus on advanced HAB control development that is more preferable to sustainable water supply without side-effects, and cost-effective algal control and management. With monitoring and analytical technologies of HABs, plenty of valuable experimental data for HABs control conducted at test-bed (50t) and field conditions are welcomed. They may comprise various practical applications, experimental mistakes, technical limitations, and successful technologies of HAB control both in test-bed and field conditions. In addition, cost–benefit analysis on many HABs control technologies is also preferable. Experimental articles, reviews, and short communications relating to HAB control are always welcome.
