Cleaner Water

Cleaner Water (ISSN: 2950-2632) is an international, cross-disciplinary companion journal to Journal of Cleaner Production that publishes original full-length research articles, short communications, perspectives, and reviews on the science, engineering and technology of the water and wastewater treatment, water quality, and its management including policy strategies.

With a central purpose to support and accelerate Sustainable Development Goal 6, "Clean water and sanitation", Cleaner Water focuses on all aspects of cutting-edge technology, theories, societal issues, and policies that advance the sustainable supply of clean water. The pursued "cleaner approach" involves all the water matrices i.e. potable water, domestic and industrial wastewater, stormwater, freshwater and groundwater with the inspiring principle of considering water a precious resource to save and protect, whose reuse must be encouraged as much as possible.

The journal provides a platform for publishing high-quality interdisciplinary papers aimed to promote a sustainable water use through fundamental and applied research, innovative technologies, and best management practices. This challenging objective includes the contributions of theoretical insights by scientists as well as case-studies from practitioners focused on the development and optimization of engineered treatment, management, and supply strategies.

The scope includes (but is not limited to) the following topics, where the cleaner and sustainability dimensions are highlighted:

Water collection and distribution systems; Advanced urban wastewater treatment technologies; Micropollutant fate and removal in wastewater treatment plants; Resources and energy recovery from wastewater; Water agricultural reuse; Sludge treatment and disposal; Sludge agricultural reuse; Hygienization in wastewater treatment; Innovative industrial wastewater treatment technologies; Xenobiotic removal; Water reuse in the production cycles; Emerging pollutants in water and wastewater; Circular economy in water and wastewater systems; Risk assessment of wastewater systems; Water quality monitoring; Impacts of climate change and extreme weather on water sustainability; Drinking water treatment; Potable reuse; Water-energy-food nexus; Water policy and legislation issues; Groundwater remediation; Surface water remediation; Stormwater management; Nature based treatment solutions; Modelling and control of treatment processes
