Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sewer systems are one of the core facilities for the water environment because they convey wastewater from households and industries to wastewater treatment plants for clarification. Wastewater contains complex compositions, including carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfide compounds with different oxidized states.
Wastewater quality changes in sewer systems due to microbial processes during transportation. The transformation of soluble and particulate compounds occurs in bulk water and biofilm, respectively. Wastewater quality also changes under either aerobic or anaerobic conditions, which are determined by the dissolved oxygen concentrations.
Because sewer systems convey a large amount of wastewater with high concentrations uninterruptedly, the reactions in sewer systems become more important. Therefore, it is necessary to develop advanced models and methods for sewer systems and monitoring, but also for system inspection and optimization.
We would like to invite contributions on various aspects for the simulation and monitoring of sewer systems, including but not limited to the following topics:
- Sewer system simulation;
- In-sewer process simulation (e.g., chemical or biological processes, sediment transport);
- Modeling techniques;
- Calibration and validation methods;
- Monitoring and associated technologies for water quality and pollutants;
- Inspection techniques;
- Remote sensing technologies;
- Sewer system optimization;
- IoT techniques;
- Forecasting and early warning systems;
- Climate change impact simulation.

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.
