Publications of the Society of Water Chemistry & its committees

The research strategy (edition 1.0 2023) outlines the tasks and multidisciplinary activities of the Joint Research Committee. As a result of climate change, fundamentally new concepts must be developed that lead to rapid and sustainable solutions. Water and body of water quality are a valuable asset that has always been a high priority in research in Germany. Almost 1,000 scientists are organized in the Society of Water Chemistry to jointly develop solutions that lead to sustainable and future-oriented water management. The more than 100 scientists in the Joint Research Committee discuss current developments, compile them, and examine their practical relevance. The focus here is on interdisciplinary approaches, as the topic of water touches on many different disciplines.

This special issue describes a new concept for evaluating advanced wastewater treatment processes, both in a pilot phase for selecting process options and for evaluating large-scale plants. The concept is based on an integrated approach that considers both emissions and immissions in water bodies. Two selected practical examples demonstrate that determining selected reductions or removals of substances, microorganisms, and (eco)toxicological effects is useful for evaluating process options at a site.

Application of non-target screening using LC-ESI-HRMS in water analysis
Prepared by the Non-Target Screening Committee of the Society of Water Chemistry

This guideline is intended to provide an initial framework for the application of non-target analysis. Around 20 experts from universities, research institutes, authorities, and water suppliers contributed their practical experience in the use of high-resolution mass spectrometry in water analysis.
