Advanced Approaches in Sustainable Water Resources Cycle Management
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water is one of the most valuable natural resources, and it forms the basis of human existence. Urbanization and industrialization are seen as the main factors increasing the degree of environmental pollution, as well as deteriorating the quality of water resources and limiting their availability in many places around the world. In addition, the state of water resources is affected by climate change and unsustainable exploitation. To counteract these problems, it is necessary to change the approach to water resource management and implement innovative practices, programs, devices, and technologies. It is therefore necessary to take into account economic, social, environmental, and political aspects and their interactions. This Special Issue of Resources invites scientific articles on the broadly understood research and management of water resources. We encourage submissions on, but not limited to, water resources conservation and optimization, the adaptation of water policies to changing climatic conditions, decision support systems, risk assessments of water scarcity and flooding, and water resource monitoring and modeling, as well as technological use of alternative water sources such as rainwater and greywater.
