Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Proper and effective wastewater management is one of the most critical environmental issues. Uncontrolled wastewater discharge can lead to soil and water bodies deterioration. In particular, high concentrations of nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) in wastewater can generate: eutrophication phenomena, compromising the quality of surface water bodies and, at the same time, reducing their biodiversity. In receiving water bodies, nutrient accumulation is mainly attributable to the exploitation of chemical fertilisers in agricultural activities, livestock manure and digestates as soil improvers, and urban and industrial wastewater discharge. Moreover, with the growth of urban centres and industrial development, the amount of contaminants that reach wastewater treatment plants daily is dramatically growing. Therefore, wastewater treatment plants must reach higher treatment capacities to cope with this condition. In this regard, it is necessary to develop innovative water treatments to ensure high-quality standards of effluents. Moreover, the definition of processes for the recovery of nutrients from treated wastewater is of great relevance, given reducing the consumption of natural resources.
The Special Issue welcomes research articles or reviews focusing on the latest knowledge and innovations in contaminant removal and nutrient recovery from water and wastewater. We are interested in contributions that report the results of studies conducted on a laboratory scale or on existing real plants. Contributions should show originality and significantly contribute to the scope of the Special Issue.

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.
