Achieving "sustainable management of water and sanitation for all" is a fundamental part of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Rising rates of urbanization and industrialization necessitate continual technological advancements to address existing and emerging water pollution issues related to centralized populations and industrial wastes. The articles in the Collection “Water and Wastewater Treatment Technologies” showcase salient aspects of advances in measurement and monitoring, as well as recommendations for sustainable use and management of water resources. The Collection associated with this editorial also presents studies that highlight the importance of decentralization and digitalization of environmental water technologies.
实现“人人享有水和环境卫生的可持续管理”是可持续发展目标(SDGs)的基本组成部分。城市化和工业化进程的加快,需要不断推进技术进步,以解决与集中人口和工业废物相关的现有及新出现的水污染问题。“水和废水处理技术”专题中的文章展示了测量和监测进展的显著方面,以及水资源可持续利用和管理的建议。与本社论相关的专题还介绍了一些研究,这些研究突出了环境水技术去中心化和数字化的重要性。
