Water Reuse Special Issue on:

Cutting-Edge Technology and Systems for Water Treatment and Reuse

Water treatment and reuse is the key strategy to address the problems of water shortages. To facilitate communication and application of technology and research in water reclamation, the National Conference on Water Treatment and Reuse of China has been held annually from 2017 by the Committee of Water Treatment and Reuse, Chinese Society for Environmental Sciences.

The theme of the 4th conference, held in 2020, was water eco-nexus and water environment remediation. It brought together researchers working in different areas related to water treatment and reuse from China, Singapore, Japan, Ireland and many other countries and regions.

In this Special Issue of Water Reuse, 15 papers that focus on cutting-edge technology and systems for water treatment and reuse, were selected among papers presented at the 4th National Conference on Water Treatment and Reuse of China. They cover the following 3 topics:

• Desalination technology and processes
• Physical and chemical treatment technology and process of non-conventional water resources
• Problems concerning biological and natural treatment technology and process of non-conventional water resources.
