Special Issue on Drinking Water

Drinking Water focuses on the quality, safety, treatment, distribution, and sustainable management of water intended for human consumption. It encompasses the study of water sources, purification technologies, contaminant detection, water quality monitoring, public health protection, regulatory standards, and water supply systems. Integrating knowledge from environmental science, chemistry, microbiology, engineering, and public health, this field aims to ensure access to safe and reliable drinking water while addressing challenges such as emerging contaminants, climate change, aging infrastructure, and water scarcity. Advances in drinking water research contribute to the development of innovative treatment technologies, effective risk assessment methods, and sustainable water management strategies that protect public health and support long-term water security.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Drinking Water. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Water quality
• Water treatment
• Drinking water microbiology
• Water chemistry
• Water purification
• Distribution systems
• Water disinfection
• Membrane filtration
• Contaminant monitoring
• Water quality assessment
• Public health protection
• Risk assessment
• Water resource management
• Smart water systems
• Regulatory compliance
• Sustainable water supply

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Drinking Water” should be selected during your submission.
