The full spectrum of the global community of water professionals was represented in this unparalleled opportunity to address the key challenges in water and sanitation and to report advances in water and environmental management. Over 650 papers have subsequently been peer-reviewed for publication and this issue comprises 71 papers selected on aspects of drinking water treatment. Topics covered include: coagulation and filtration; arsenic removal; water treatment; micropollutants; membrane processes; reduction of microorganisms; natural organic matter; and disinfection byproducts. With articles by some of the world?s leading experts, highlighting developments in research, policy and practical applications, these proceedings are a highly valuable compilation of the latest advances in the science, technology and management of water supply.
