“…The other important keywords that co-occurred in the green cluster are "water quality" (total link strength of 1212 with 167 links), "drinking water" (total link strength of 1087 with 167 links), "potable water" (total link strength of 659 with 147 links) and "rural area" (total link strength of 517 with 138 links). It can be inferred that the green cluster mainly focuses on the core thrust area of SDG 6, i.e., safe drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene, and human health [58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65]. The direct connections between the main keywords like the link between "water supply" in green cluster and "sustainable development" in red cluster (link strength is 56) demonstrates the direct link between the role of water supply in attaining SDG 6.…”

The connections between the scientific findings and SDG 6 are often not clear, which results in increasing the gap between technical developments and academic discourse, and the policy practitioners and/or implementers. The present paper explores the existing scientific research on water that directly connects to SDG 6 using a bibliometric analysis. The 637 scientific articles published between 2015–2021 (till 13 May 2021) were investigated for temporal development, scientific collaboration, existing research focus and the gaps. Interdisciplinary journals such as Science of the Total Environment and Journal of Environmental Management are found to be dominant sources along with water specific journals such as Water Research and Water (Switzerland). Open access journals make a dominant footprint and majority of author collaborations are found among authors from countries such as USA and UK while the research connections among authors from Global South are observed to be weak. Targets 6.1 (safe and affordable water), 6.3 (treatment and reuse of wastewater) and 6.5 (IWRM including through transboundary cooperation) are identified to be the highest referred to targets in scientific research in support of SDG 6. Though a significant evolution of scientific research is observed in connection to SDG 6 with increasing studies on groundwater, water governance, wastewater treatment, etc., in recent years, scientific studies connecting emerging concepts such as water security, water-energy-food nexus and ecosystem based approaches are still in an infant stage which calls for more research connecting these concepts and approaches to SDG 6 targets to attain a sustainable water environment by 2030 and beyond. This paper significantly contributes to tracking the progress in scientific research in connection to SDG 6 as well as highlights the hotspots where more collaboration between scientific communities and policy makers are required.

“…In their literature review, Katzenbach and Ulbricht (2019) highlight the width and range of overlapping and dynamic research streams that engage with algorithmic regulation and governance. These includes studies that aim to develop, evaluate, and optimize technical systems including the burgeoning literature within the FAccT (Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency) and XAI (Explainable AI) communities, behavioral research, and studies from humancomputer interaction (HCI) (Bader & Kaiser 2019;Biswas et al 2020;Gray & Suzor 2020;Polack 2020). Other analyses explore the lawfulness of algorithms, offering proposals for legal reform, including the potential adaptation of existing legal doctrine and causes of action to address distinct kinds of harm and other adverse impacts arising from their implementation in specific contexts (Gorwa et al 2020).…”

This paper offers a critical synthesis of the articles in this Special Issue with a view to assessing the concept of "algorithmic regulation" as a mode of social coordination and control articulated by Yeung in 2017. We highlight significant changes in public debate about the role of algorithms in society occurring in the last five years. We also highlight prominent themes that emerge from the contributions, illuminating what is distinctive about the concept of algorithmic regulation, reflecting upon some of its strengths, limitations, and its relationship with the broader research field. In closing, we argue that the core concept is valuable and maturing. It has evolved into an analytical bridge that fosters cross-disciplinary development and analysis in ways that enrich its early "skeletal" form, thereby enabling careful and context-sensitive analysis of algorithmic regulation in concrete settings while facilitating critical reflection concerning the legitimacy of existing and proposed regulatory regimes.

“…As a result, waterborne diseases are common. There is no doubt that gastrointestinal sickness is a common indicator of poor water quality, and one of the leading causes of morbidity or disease in developing countries (Ahsan Mollah et al, 2009; Biswas et al, 2021). According to the CDP, 2020 report, more than 3 billion people are affected by water shortages.…”

“…These deaths can largely be reduced if adequate safe and clean water sources and sanitation systems are in place (Ki-moon, 2015;Mutono et al, 2021). Meanwhile, further studies indicate that simple, socially acceptable, and low-cost interventions at the household (point-of-use) and community levels can reduce the risks of diarrheal disease and death among children (Biswas et al, 2021;Clasen et al, 2007;Farrow et al, 2018;Thomas, 2009).…”

Water safety concerns are increasing tremendously as a result of the rising population and environmental pollution. As a result, viable water treatment approaches need to be designed to meet the water consumption demands of the population, particularly in developing countries. The recent technological advances in water treatment and purification are well articulated in this review. The efficiency of the materials used for purification and their affordability for people living in rural and remote settlements in various parts of the world have been discussed. Water treatment techniques prior to the rapid advancement of science and technology included a variety of strategies such as coagulation/flocculation, filtration, disinfection, flotation and pH correction. The use of nanotechnology in water treatment and purification has modernized the purification process. Therefore, efficient removal of microbes such as bacteria and viruses are exquisitely accomplished. These technologies may include membrane filtration, ultraviolet irradiation, advanced oxidation ion‐exchange and biological filtration technologies. Thus, nanotechnology allows for the fabrication of less expensive systems, allowing even low‐income people to benefit from it. Most developing countries find these technologies particularly valuable because access to clean and safe water for drinking and residential needs is critical. This is because access to municipal water supplies is also difficult.This article is categorized under: Toxicology and Regulatory Issues in Nanomedicine > Toxicology of Nanomaterials Diagnostic Tools > In Vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging
