Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The combination of sensors and data processing offers new insights into many disciplines, and also in water treatment. The Internet of Things is abundantly applied, which drastically reduces the connection cost. Therefore, the use of more and other sensor types is becoming very interesting. For example, the use of many sensors integrated into the main material is possible, using, for example, crack detection sensors, or conductivity measurement for a relatively low cost. Which sensors are used now, and which sensor types are emerging?
Data from all sensors can be processed by artificial intelligence, leading to a much more defined insight into water networks and water quality. Leak detection, water quality assurance, and threat detection are improved massively. Integration with other systems (e.g., the energy grid) increases this information awareness even more. Which information is required for normal operation, and what is interesting for new business cases? What is the future, which information is not accessible yet, and which sensors do we possibly need for that? Finally, what can the public do with the available information? For example, direct feedback regarding water scarcity and water use will likely prompt users to adapt their water use.

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.
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.
