Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A significant proportion of surface water has reached a high degree of eutrophication. Implementing protective treatments often becomes insufficient. It is necessary to implement methods of restoration of surface waters, especially lakes. This usually involves the need to engage substantial financial resources, often exceeding the capabilities of the owner or manager of the water reservoir. Increasingly, scientists are coming to the conclusion that water restoration should be carried out in a sustainable manner using only pro-ecological methods that are safe for aquatic ecosystems. The global energy crisis has triggered the search for new, low-energy technologies. The use of renewable energy in the protection and restoration of surface waters and wetlands is becoming a growing trend, but above all, a necessity. The aim of this Special Issue is to systematize the latest knowledge regarding the use of renewable energy in processes related to water protection and restoration. Manuscripts presenting specific technologies, machines or devices using renewable energy are welcome. The latest research results showing the use of renewable energy in the protection and restoration of surface waters and wetlands will also be published.
Areas of interest include:
- Solar energy in the process of protection and restoration of surface waters and wetlands.
- Wind energy in the process of protection and restoration of surface waters and wetlands.
- The energy of flowing water in the process of water protection and restoration.
- The impact of solar energy on the biodiversity of aquatic ecosystems.
- The use of renewable energy in the process of artificial aeration of surface waters.
- The use of natural biological processes (in the context of renewable energy) in the restoration of surface waters and wetlands.
- Economic aspects of the use of renewable energy in the restoration of surface waters and wetlands.
- Ecological aspects of the use of renewable energy in the restoration of surface waters and wetlands.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
