Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the increased impacts of climate change worldwide, water as a resource is becoming scarcer in several parts of the world. The dependence on non-conventional water sources such as desalinated seawater has become essential to maintain life in large areas of the planet. The surge in desalination has increased worldwide to a total number of 6000 operational desalination plants located across 177 countries.
This Special Issue targets high quality papers focusing on recent advances in desalination. The scope covers non-conventional and novel techniques for desalination including pre- and post-treatment. Examples of technologies include: electrodialysis and biodesalination among others.
In this Special Issue entitled “Advances in Water Desalination”, authors have the opportunity to publish papers on their contributions to desalination technology. Manuscripts are welcome in the following areas.
- Pre- and post-treatment;
- Innovative and non-conventional desalination technologies;
- Brine management;
- Hybrid systems for desalination;
- Innovative processes in thermal- and membrane-based desalination;
- Emerging environmental impacts of desalination plants.

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.
