Water Quality Research Journal Special Issue on:
Management of Lakes and Reservoirs
CALL FOR PAPERS
Lakes and reservoirs are essential for providing drinking water, supporting biodiversity, and sustaining recreational and economic activities. However, they are increasingly threatened by pollution, climate change, and overuse. Effective management of these resources requires a multidisciplinary approach that integrates hydrodynamics, biogeochemistry, microbiology, aquatic biology, modelling, and management.
This special issue stems from the recent IWA Lake and Reservoir Management Conference 2024 but is open to all contributions. It aims to bring together cutting-edge research, practical approaches, and interdisciplinary perspectives to address the multifaceted challenges associated with maintaining and improving the quality of these water bodies. This special issue seeks to highlight recent advances, promote interdisciplinary collaboration, and share best practices.
We are pleased to invite you to submit a manuscript to Water Quality Research Journal for peer review and possible publication in a Special Issue entitled Management of Lakes and Reservoirs.
Relevant topics include:
- Diffuse pollution and eutrophication
- Instrumentation and techniques for water quality monitoring
- In-situ control strategies to remove nutrients, cyanobacteria and other contaminants, and to mitigate greenhouse gas releases
- In-reservoir water quality management strategies
- Evaluating reservoirs as pathogen and contaminant barriers
- Understanding the impacts of climate change
- Hydrodynamic and water quality model applications
- Connecting reservoir management and water treatment strategies
- One Water.
Key dates:
Deadline for manuscript submission: April 30th, 2025
Expected publication: Articles will be published online as soon as possible after acceptance.
