Application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Water Quality Monitoring, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Water quality monitoring is a key step in ensuring the sustainable utilization, security, and aquatic ecological environment of water resources. By monitoring water quality, pollutants, bacteria, and other harmful substances in water bodies can be detected and identified early on, and corresponding measures can be taken to protect public health and ecosystems. Water quality monitoring also helps in assessing the sustainability of water resources and guiding rational water resource management and decision making. The rapidly developing artificial intelligence technology of recent years possesses real-time monitoring capabilities, big data analysis and pattern recognition capabilities, intelligent decision making capabilities, and data integration and joint analysis capabilities. These qualities can overcome some of the challenges faced by traditional water quality monitoring methods, make up for the limitations of traditional methods, and have great application prospects in water quality monitoring.

This Special Issue is interdisciplinary and encourages methodological pluralism. We welcome research-based manuscript submissions from scholars and practitioners working in water quality monitoring, information sciences, environmental sciences, ecology, and water policy studies.
