This special issue (SI) of Environmental Science and Pollution Research (ESPR) includes a collection of 18 peer-reviewed articles relating to water quality and toxicity risk assessments, ecosystem protection, groundwater contamination assessment, soil and sediment remediation technologies, water treatment technologies, climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies, and control of carbon intensity that were formally presented at the 4th International Conference on Water Resources and Environment (WRE 2018), the 5th International Conference on Water Resources and Environment (WRE 2019), and the 1st International Conference on Advances in Civil and Ecological Engineering Research (ACEER 2019). WRE 2018 was held in I-Shou University, Kaohsiung, Taiwan, from July 17th to 21st, 2018. WRE 2019 was held in Macau University of Science and Technology, Macao, China, from June 16th to 19th, 2019. WRE conference started in 2015, when the first WRE was held in Beijing. As an annually held conference, the upcoming 6th WRE conference is prescheduled held in Tokyo, from 23rd to 26th, 2020; however, due to the outbreak of COVID-19 and for the safety of participants, WRE2020 will be held online via virtual presentation (http://www.wreconf.org/index.html). The WRE conference highlighted the needs to maintain the sustainability of indispensable water resources under increasing uncertainty and to protect the fragile water environments under the growing concern of intensive use of water we are facing today. While Civil Engineering provides us a better living environment, there is a need not only to protect our fragile environment but also to ensure it is sustainable for future generations. Thus, the initiation of ACEER 2019 is to emphasize links between civil engineering research and

knowledge of ecological/environmental issues. The 2nd ACEER will be held on October 20th–23rd, 2020, in Beijing, China (http://www.aceerconf.org/index.html). The present SI of ESPR was guest-edited by Professor Chih-Huang Weng (I-Shou University, Kaohsiung, Taiwan). The papers selected in this SI were based on the ones originally presented at the conference; however, having gone through the regular peerreview process of ESPR, the contents of those papers have been changed. A brief highlight of the papers included in this SI is as follows: &

Constantly consumption of caffeine around the world has led to increase in caffeine concentration in water bodies and agricultural soil, and thus the impact of caffeine on the environment should not be ignored. Korekar et al. (2019) review the caffeine occurrence, its persistence and remediation. Cui et al. (2019) compared the acute toxicity of five oil spill dispersants to three orga
