10 Most Recent Special Issues from Water and Sanitation journals

 


We have compiled a list of the 10 most recent calls for papers for publication in special issues of different water and sanitation journals. If you know some new special issue calls you can share them.

Despite the importance of water and sanitation, there are still significant global challenges and disparities in access to clean water and sanitation facilities. According to the World Health Organization, around 2.2 billion people worldwide lack access to safely managed drinking water services, while 4.2 billion people do not have access to safely managed sanitation services. These disparities are particularly prevalent in low-income countries and marginalized communities, where inadequate infrastructure, limited resources, and poor governance contribute to the lack of access. As a result, millions of people are at risk of waterborne diseases and preventable deaths. Lack of clean water and sanitation also has a direct impact on education and economic opportunities, as children often have to spend hours collecting water instead of attending school, and adults are unable to work due to illness. Additionally, the environmental consequences of inadequate water and sanitation systems, such as pollution and depletion of natural resources, further exacerbate the challenges faced by communities. Therefore, addressing these disparities and ensuring universal access to clean water and sanitation should be a global priority to promote health, well-being, and sustainable development for all.

As a consequence, many journals have floated calls for special issues on the related topics of water and sanitation. The ten most recent calls are listed here in the HydroGeek Blog

Five ideas to open startups in water filter industry

  Below are five innovative startup ideas related to water filters: 1. Develop an app or device that can monitor the water filter candles and provide notifications to the user when maintenance or replacement is required. This could help homeowners keep track of the health of their water filter and ensure that it's functioning optimally at all times. 2. Create an in-situ water quality monitoring device and app for home water filters. This device would provide users with real-time information about the quality of their water and identify any potential issues that need to be addressed. This could be especially helpful for homeowners who rely on well water or live in areas with poor water quality. 3. Reuse wastewater from reverse osmosis filters by channeling it through a gravity filter. This would allow homeowners to save money on their water bills and reduce their environmental footprint by reusing water that would otherwise go to waste. 4. Design an in-situ energy monitoring device ...
