Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the increase in the world’s population, urbanization, degradation of environmental ecosystems and climate change, water quality and quantity issues have become important in both the political and scientific spheres. Many regions in the world have increasingly limited water resources, not only in terms of quantity but also quality. The above-mentioned factors not only affect water availability but also disrupt the entire hydrological cycle, causing long-term droughts, floods and irreversible changes in aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, increasing attention is being paid to the fact that the protection and sustainable management of water resources is crucial for the survival of present and future generations. This requires intensification of actions on a local, regional and global scale.
This Special Issue of the journal Sustainability invites scientific articles on the broadly understood studying and management of water resources, taking into account qualitative and quantitative aspects. We invite papers aimed at, among other elements:
- optimizing and modeling the decision-making process from a technical, financial and environmental perspective;
- determining the impact of climate change on water resources and their management;
- managing environmental water with a multidisciplinary approach;
- the quantitative and qualitative studying of alternative water sources and assessing their potential.
