About this collection

This issue aims to give a central focus to climate change adaptation for water quality and treatment.

Guest edited by Sarah Dorner (Polytechnique Montréal), Nynke Hofstra (Wageningen University) and Arash Zamyadi (Monash University) this broad collection includes studies on combined impacts of water quality constituents, brownification processes in surface water, sewer overflows, manure runoff, water (re)use/irrigation and methodology development for climate change adaptation assessment for water quality. Trade-offs and synergies in climate change adaptation related to water quality, climate change adaptation policy and governance and development of adaptation or development pathways for water quality are also covered.
