Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will publish refereed original research papers on innovative research and applications related to the monitoring of water quality at the water source, as well as advances in drinking water treatment. The major issue of drinking water availability for human consumption requires the application of water quality monitoring, taking into account the influence of contaminants, representative locations, as well as temporal and seasonal variability on water quality. Water degradation makes it essential that resources for potable water are adequate for human consumption, requiring a careful selection of smart optimization techniques related to existing or new processes for drinking water production. For this Special Issue, we will consider contributions dealing with, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Drinking water treatments;
- Water quality monitoring and assessment;
- Case studies for full-scale optimization;
- Water purification;
- Water and environment;
- Water and life cycle assessment.
The overall aim of this Special Issue is to publish up-to-date developments on the current state of knowledge in theoretical, applied, observational, and methodological studies in which novel approaches and robust results are presented and discussed.
Dr. Kyriaki Kalaitzidou
Guest Editor
