Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water resources have been experiencing significant stress, resulting in water-related problems in many regions around the world. Recent research advances strongly suggest that climate change is expected to alter the timing and magnitude of all hydrological processes, and will intensify the hydrological cycle. This will affect water and food security, as well as ecosystem services.
The main aim of this special issue is to increase the scientific knowledge on water resources and climate change interactions especially for the agricultural sector. Also, of high importance is to increase water security, under different climate conditions and anthropogenic interventions, through various measures and geoinformatic techniques.
In this special issue selected papers submitted to Water efficiency & Climate resilient agriculture Conference, that will take place from 15 to 17 July 2020 in Chania - Crete (Greece), will be included (https://acw-conference.com/).
