Water Resource Management Using Artificial Intelligence Methods

Dear Colleagues,

The planning, designing, and managing and management of water resources are still not systematically benefited by automated data processing, data analysis, and predictive modeling assistance for real-time monitoring, and adjusting appropriate forecasting models using data-driven techniques with the full capacity of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. Accurate analysis and modeling of water resources is a challenging task due to the randomness inherent in models as representations of any real system over time.

Our goal in proposing this Special Issue entitled “Water Resource Management Using Artificial Intelligence Methods” is to combine many of the ongoing research activities on the application of AI techniques in water resource management into a single open source document. The contributions to this Special Issue will encompass wide topics in water resources in many regions around the world, including but not limited to application and development of more efficient AI techniques in water resource monitoring, operation, assessment, development, planning and design, conservation, and control.

This Special Issue will also welcome a knowledge-based decision support tool taking into account social, economic, environmental and ethical governance issues in water resource management.
