Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Global climate change and intense human activity have had a significant influence on the Earth's water resource systems during the past century, and disputes over water usage have become much worse. Planning and management methods for water resources must change to meet the new requirements of a changing environment if the sustainable use of water resources is to be maintained.
The purpose of this Special Issue, which is closely connected to the Sustainability journal's major focus on human-environmental, economic, and social sustainability, is to collect research and studies on the rational and effective application of water resources in a changing environment.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research themes may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- The analysis and dynamic prediction of the hydrological cycle's evolution under climate change;
- Forecasting of the mechanisms and trends of interactions between the host and the object of water resources in a changing environment;
- Research on multi-objective adaptive regulation strategies for water resources in a changing environment.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Zengchuan Dong
Guest Editor
