Managing Water Resources Sustainably

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to invite you to participate in our Special Issue, focused on assessing water quality in watersheds and urban drainage systems.

Water is a key environmental, sociological and economic risk in many parts of the world, making sustainable management of water resources crucial. For this reason, your participation and contribution to this Special Issue would be extremely valuable in deepening the understanding of these crucial issues and in advancing environmental management strategies. This Special Issue welcomes research papers that discuss the possibility of integrating sustainability principles within engineering, addressing specific and general methods (monitoring and evaluation techniques) and approaches (models, decision support tools, management actions , political insights and governance). We also welcome literature reviews and empirical articles. Papers selected for this Special Issue will be subject to a rigorous peer review procedure with the aim of rapid and wide dissemination of research findings, developments and applications. We therefore encourage you to submit your contributions on this topic by the indicated deadline and join us in promoting research and solutions to improve water quality.

Dr. Mariacrocetta Sambito
Guest Editor
