Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to invite submissions to a Special Issue titled “New World: Advancing Water Applications Through Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence”. This Special Issue focuses on the transformative potential of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in addressing complex water-related challenges. It seeks original research and case studies demonstrating how ML and AI can enhance water-related fields, including the development of predictive models for the supply and demand of water, the application of deep learning for real-time water quality assessments, and the use of AI in smart water networks for efficient resource allocation. This Special Issue serves as a platform for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to share insights and will foster collaboration to advance the sustainable management of water resources through AI and ML innovations. We encourage the submission of original research articles, reviews, and case studies that demonstrate how the application of machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies can solve complex water-related problems.
Prof. Dr. Jianjun Ni
