This journal publishes research on water quality, wastewater surveillance, and antimicrobial resistance in various water systems, including drinking water, wastewater, and surface water. Articles explore the detection of pathogens and viruses, the prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes, and the impact of human activities and environmental factors on water quality. The scope also includes the assessment of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) practices and their health implications, particularly in vulnerable communities.
