Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent developments threaten to compromise the safety and security of water for over two billion people due to dwindling clean water resources and limited water supplies. Meanwhile, the huge demand for clean water is rapidly rising due to population growth. The improper management of water resources, rapid growth of industrialization, and contamination of waterways are also increasing the difficulties. This situation is being exacerbated by climate change via changing rain patterns. Therefore, the United Nations has prioritized clean water in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG-6). Globally, more than 80% of wastewater is discharged without any additional treatment; thus, there is a need to develop technology for untreated wastewater and subsequently increasing the recycling and reuse of water. The drivers of water/wastewater treatment require innovative technology, performance optimization, reduced environmental footprints, integration management and meeting regulatory requirements. All these factors should eventually lead the treatment of wastewater towards realizing the SDG developed by the United Nations.
