Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the scientific understanding and technological solutions for managing water resources and treating water across various contexts. It covers topics such as assessing aquatic ecosystem health using environmental DNA, developing advanced membranes for wastewater treatment, forecasting water temperature, predicting climate change impacts on water resources, and improving sand filtration systems. The journal also explores catalytic ozonation for industrial wastewater, biological nitrogen removal in low C/N wastewater, aerobic granular sludge recovery, and the degradation of organic pollutants using heterogeneous catalysts. Furthermore, it examines reclaimed water utilization, synergistic oxidation processes for water reuse, the impact of reclaimed water on artificial landscapes, antibiotic removal, disinfection byproduct formation, drought forecasting, and the regrowth and survival of bacteria in treated water.
