About the journal
Aims & Scope
npj Clean Water publishes high-quality papers which report cutting-edge science, technology, application, policy and societal issues that contribute towards a more sustainable supply of clean water. Papers published in the journal may also support and accelerate Sustainable Development Goal 6, 'Clean water and sanitation'.
Representative journal scope:
- drinking water and wastewater treatment by physical, chemical or biological means, including research at the interface of these approaches.
- new materials and process technologies for water and wastewater treatment, including membranes, advanced oxidation, nano-enabled materials and processes.
- desalination of seawater, groundwater and non-traditional wastes like municipal and industrial wastewater for recycling or reuse.
- advances in measurement and detection of regulated water quality parameters, as well as real-time monitoring of pathogens and emerging contaminants.
- software and hardware innovations related to reliable and efficient clean water distribution and supply, including machine learning, Internet of things and big data analyses.
- broader issues related to the supply of clean water beyond natural sciences, including topics such as education, funding, policy, intellectual property and impact on society.
Instructions to Authors

Associate Editors
Nina Lansbury, PhD
School of Public Health
The University of Queensland
Brisbane, Australia
Dr Nina Lansbury is a researcher on environmental and planetary health within The University of Queensland's School of Public Health. She conducts research and teaching on responses to complex issues around the sustainable and integrated development, including management and use of water and energy resources with social, environmental and economic considerations. Her current research examines the implementation challenges and opportunities for the UN Sustainable Development Goals, sustainable provision and evaluation of water, sanitation and hygiene in development, including in remote Indigenous communities on both mainland Australia and in the Torres Strait.
 Ryo Honda, PhD
Associate Professor, Faculty of Environmental Design
Kanazawa University
Kanazawa, Japan
Professor Ryo Honda obtained his PhD in Environmental Engineering at University of Tokyo in 2005, and then became an Assistant Professor working on interdisciplinary sustainability science, and on an international cooperation project for the development of water reuse technology. He took up his current position in 2012. His areas of interest include environmental process engineering and environmental microbiology, with specialty in microbiology of water treatment and water environment, especially resource recovery from wastewater, microbial community and health-related water microbiology. He is also familiar with wider water-related issues in Asia through his wide experience of field surveys.
Bhekie B. Mamba, PhD
Director, Nanotechnology and Water Sustainability (NanoWS)
University of South Africa
Johannesburg, South Africa
Professor Bhekie Mamba has occupied a number of leadership positions including being a Professor and Head at Department of Applied Chemistry at the University of Johannesburg, Executive Dean of the Faculty of Science at the University of Johannesburg, Director of the DST/Mintek Nanotechnology Innovation Centre – Water Research Node and the Director of the Institute of Nanotechnology and Water Research at the University of Johannesburg. He has experience in the area of nanotechnology, polymer chemistry and water treatment technologies. His interests focus on creating sustainable solutions that will ensure that water resources are maintained and preserved for future generations.
 Debora F. Rodrigues, PhD
Department of Civil and Engineering
University of Houston
TX, USA
Professor Debora Rodrigues received her BS and MS degrees in Biology and Microbiology, respectively, from the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and her PhD in Microbiology and Molecular Genetics from Michigan State University in 2007. She was a Postdoctoral Associate in the Environmental Engineering Program at Yale University from 2007 to 2010. Her research is divided in three main topics: better understanding of the aquatic system and its ecology; investigation of the effects of nanomaterials on the environment (more specifically, carbon-based nanomaterials) through application of molecular biology and nanotoxicological tools and development of new nanotechonologies and biotechnologies to keep the aquatic system safe and remove unwanted contaminants.
Arne Verliefde, PhD
Department of Applied Analytical and Physical Chemistry
Ghent University
Ghent, Belgium
Professor Arne Verliefde's research focuses on interfacial phenomena in drinking and process water treatment with an emphasis on membranes. His interests also expand to adsorptive and ion exchange processes, and energy-efficient processes for selective separation of organics and inorganics. Applications of his research are primarily within water treatment and water recycling, with three main research pillars: ultrapure water production, fundamental membrane transport and low-tech applications for developing countries. Dr Verliefde is currently involved in the Resource Recovery Technology Consortium and in the Centre for Advanced Process Technology for Urban Resource Recovery, both at Ghent University, which focuses on resource recovery and zero-waste research.
Syed M. Zubair, PhD
Distinguished Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering
