Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water supply systems for human consumption and other uses currently face enormous challenges, spanning from the planning and design phases to the operation, maintenance and rehabilitation stages. Moreover, water systems are greatly impacted by climate change. Indeed, issues relating to the following areas are currently of paramount importance: (i) availability and scarcity of water resources; (ii) water quality both at available sources and at end consumers; (iii) requirements for adequate pre- and post-use treatments of water, particularly to preserve public health and environmental sustainability; (iv) adequate design, operation and management of public water infrastructures, including treatment plants, pumping facilities, storage reservoirs and distribution networks; and (v) resilience of systems to increasing anthropogenic imbalances, as well as to natural hazards and risks. This Special Issue of Water, entitled “Research on water supply systems and on the treatment and recovery of wastewater and stormwater”, welcomes original papers—either as full research articles, technical notes or case studies—and review articles, with a special focus on the emerging theme related to the availability of water in quality and quantity (including non-conventional sources) for human consumption and the development of other human activities. We will also aim to outline the recent advances in research on the planning, design, operation, maintenance and rehabilitation of water systems and their infrastructures in urban environments.
