Dear Colleagues,

Ecological restoration and remediation is a comprehensive subject for polluted and degradated environment based on ecological principles and combining various disciplines and engineering measures to achieve the best effect with minimum cost. The successful implementation of ecological restoration and remediation requires the integration of multiple disciplines such as ecology, physics, chemistry, botany, microbiology, molecular biology, ecohydraulics, ecohydrology, cultivation and environmental engineering. The restoration and maintenance of damaged ecosystem involves ecological stability, ecological plasticity and steady-state transformation. At the same time, we must conserve energy and reduce emissions. We must strengthen management of energy use and adopt measures that are technically feasible, economically reasonable and acceptable to the environment and society to reduce energy consumption, reduce losses and pollutant emissions, stop waste and use energy effectively and rationally.

Keywords: ecological restoration and remediation, emission reduction technology, degrated and polluted waters, contaminated soils and groundwater, pollutant detection

Dear Colleagues,

Abnormal indicators of water pollution lead to different extent of influence on the control of water production process and water quality control of factory water, and are harmful to water quality and human health. Water pollution has a direct impact on the environment, production and people. Human activities change the nature and organization of natural water, also affect the use value of water or endanger human health. The problem of water environment in China is becoming more and more prominent, and the governance of water environment needs good regional cooperation mechanism. Establishing and improving the cross-administrative cooperation governance mechanism is the institutional basis for China's water environment protection and water pollution control.

This Special Issue aims to find more direct and effective ways to reduce water pollution and improve the quality of our water by sharing different academic research results of scholars on this topic, so as to make contributions to the sustainable development of people.

Keywords: water cycle (wastewaters, reclaimed waters), water resources engineering, pollutant mixing, environmental assessment, poisonous, substance/toxicant, human health risk, water pollution
