Desalination and Water Treatment is in the process of changing its publishing arrangements for 2017. From January 2017, the Journal will be solely published by Desalination Publications. All queries should be directed to the DWT Editorial Office ( deswaterjournal@gmail.com) from 30 November 2016. Due to the galloping growth of the desalination field to help supply water to an exploding active thirsty population, there has been a surge in the number of scientists and engineers involved in water desalting and wastewater reclamation. Following this growth, there has been a flood of papers from scientists and engineers, academia, government and industry from all regions of the world recording results of work in the lab or from operation of plants flowing into the editorial office from about 100 countries. This information needs to be disseminated promptly and widely to the expanding desalination and water community as it is constantly advancing and changing. New ideas are often presented at conferences attended by few. Peer reviewed papers are conveyed through the journal. There is a need to extend the coverage to accommodate additional selected papers promptly. We are ready to meet this challenge with this new publication.Desalination and Water Treatment is dedicated to research and application of desalination technology, environment and energy considerations, integrated water management, water reuse, wastewater and related topics. We are turning to main players in the field to support the venture by participating in the publication and subscribing to the new journal in electronic and print form.Peer Review Statement Desalination and Water Treatment is an international, ranked, peer-reviewed journal which publishes original research contributions to scientific knowledge. All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind.

《海水淡化與水處理》正在修改2017年的出版安排。從2017年1月起，該雜志將由海水淡化出版物獨家出版。所有查詢請于2016年11月30日起發送至DWT編輯部(deswaterjournal@gmail.com)。由于快速增長的海水淡化領域，以幫助供應激增的活躍的干渴人口的水，有一個激增的科學家和工程師的數量參與海水淡化和廢水回收。隨著這一增長，來自世界各地的科學家和工程師、學術界、政府和工業界的論文如潮水般涌來，記錄著實驗室的工作成果，或來自大約100個國家進入編輯部的工廠的操作結果。由于不斷發展和變化，需要迅速和廣泛地向不斷擴大的海水淡化和水社區傳播這一信息。出席會議的人很少，常常會提出新想法。同行評議的論文通過期刊發表。有必要擴大覆蓋面，以適應額外選定的文件迅速。我們準備以這本新出版的書迎接這一挑戰。海水淡化與水處理是致力于海水淡化技術的研究與應用、環境與能源的考量、綜合水管理、水回用、廢水處理等相關課題。我們正求助于該領域的主要參與者，通過參與出版和訂閱電子版和印刷版的新雜志來支持這項事業。同行評審的聲明《海水淡化與水處理》是一本國際性的、排名靠前的、經過同行評審的期刊，出版對科學知識的原創研究貢獻。所有提交的稿件都要經過編輯的初步評估，如果發現適合進一步考慮，還要經過獨立的、匿名的專家評審。所有同行評審都是單盲的。
