Through expanding our understanding and development of innovative techniques to analyze and treat polluted soils, scientists and engineers can play a crucial role in bringing models and technologies to deal with the environment pollution problem effectively.

The relevant fundamental principles of soil and water quality management and treatment will be covered. However, the main focus will be on assessing sustainable treatment technologies and current case studies related to soil remediation, natural and conventional water treatment, and sustainable drainage systems applied for diffuse pollution treatment.

Academics, professionals, and students in the soil, water and environmental engineering, science, and management areas, as well as the geologist and hydrological, engineers will be interested in the detailed design, operation, management, process control for soil and water quality monitoring, and applied modelling issues presented in this issue.

For this special issue, we invite authors to contribute original research as well as review articles on recent advances made on techniques and methodologies in the following areas: soil pollution prevention and remediation.

This Special Issue will present a comprehensive collection of timely, novel, and innovative research case studies in the area of soil remediation and water treatment. It will demonstrate to practitioners how natural and innovative systems can be integrated into traditional soil remediation and wastewater systems, which are predominantly applied for the treatment of diffuse pollution. Also, it will assess the design, operation, management of soil remediation technologies, and water treatment performance of sustainable drainage systems including hydrology and modeling.
