Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The scarcity of water resources is a critical issue across Europe and worldwide. It is undoubtedly exacerbated by the documented impacts related to climate change and ensuing extreme drought periods. Water services and environmental stewardship in terms of diffuse and simple access to clean water are increasingly important, their vulnerability being, in the context of shortage of water resources, widely documented. This Special Issue on “Water Pollution Monitoring, Control, and Remediation” focuses on recent advances and prospects of water studies including, but not limited to, the following:

  • Methods of monitoring and control of water parameters in terms of its quality and quantity;
  • Control of water balance in the environment in relation to climate change impacts;
  • Innovative solutions for the protection and remediation of water resources;
  • Technologies and techniques that facilitate the reduction of surface and groundwater water pollution;
  • Novel approaches in water resource modelling with a consideration of climate negative impacts (hazardous extreme weather events, risks of floods and droughts, etc.).

We invite contributions from researchers involved with experimental and theoretical aspects linked to hydrology and hydrogeology with a consideration of climate change impacts, with application to water resources, water contamination and remediation, industrial and urban impacts on water, and related areas.

By presenting this integrative and multidisciplinary volume, we aim to transfer new knowledge to hydrologists, water resource planners, and policymakers engaged in the sustainable development, protection, and remediation of water resources.

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.

This paper presents the results of a mesocosm experiment for the evaluation of remote sensing chlorophyll-a (chl-a) concentration estimations in an anthropogenic water reservoir. The chl-a presence in the water causes changes in the water surface reflectance spectrum, especially in the green and red part, but many factors could affect the remote measurements of chl-a content. The in situ mesocosm method of the experiment was used for investigating the spectral reflectance of the inland water surface in a wide range of chl-a concentrations. Eight specially designed measurement boxes were placed into the water. In half of the boxes, the devices to support the development of the submerged water plant were installed. During the experiment, simultaneously, spectral data from the water surface were gathered and physical–chemical analyses of water were carried out. The obtained results confirm the usefulness of the mesocosm experiment for the remote sensing chl-a concentration algorithms being developed. The concentration of dissolved organic carbon was identified as a key factor that interfered with remote chl-a estimations in the analyzed reservoir. Full article
