Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water quality, wastewater treatment and water reuse continue to be topical issues requiring research attention and innovations amidst the complexity of pollution, supply, demand, need for sustainability, population growth, urbanisation, industrialisation and climate change. This Special Issue seeks to publish topical and ground-breaking advanced research articles highlighting research on water quality looking at pollution, monitoring, emerging pollutants in water and wastewater, antimicrobial resistance, risk assessment, wastewater treatment processes, water reuse and risks. Research papers considering application of artificial intelligence in wastewater treatment processes, modelling and process management will also be considered. With new and emerging pollutants being acknowledged in water and wastewater, water quality and wastewater treatment processes are equally impacted, and research addressing this concern is a necessity for environmental and human health protection. On the other hand, with increased water demand, water reuse occupies a key position in conserving and supplementing water requirements for various applications. Papers demonstrating advances in wastewater treatment leading to water of acceptable quality for reuse will be accepted in this Special Issue. Overall, in this Special Issue, the latest research articles to be published will include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Water quality, pollution, monitoring, emerging contaminants, antimicrobial risks, climate change impacts;
- Wastewater treatment and novel technologies;
- Treatment of different water effluents including technologies for the removal of emerging pollutants;
- Artificial intelligence in water quality and wastewater treatment;
- Wastewater treatment and valorisation;
- Wastewater recycling, reuse, and risk concerns.

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. Water is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
