Sustainable Management of Water Resource and Environmental Monitoring

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue deals with the challenges for sustainable management of water resource and environmental monitoring issues and climate change problems particular focus semi-arid and arid regions. Furthermore, water resource and environmental parameters affects all levels of the human, climate and natural resources: from sustainable planning, development and policy, to management and withdrawing and monitoring. Remote sensing, GIS, Hydrological modeling and Machine Learning models adapted to sustainability management of water resource is a modern and promising research area. Interest is rising in adopting a sustainable planning and management perspective in these fields. This Special Issue welcomes research and review papers on introduce the various advanced techniques, modeling, climate change, Land Use/ Land Cover, Hydrological models and machine learning approach to sustainable planning and management of water resources with applications applied to solve the water resource and environmental monitoring, water and flood planning and management. Papers selected for this Special Issue will be subject to a rigorous peer review procedure with the aim of rapid and wide dissemination of research results, developments, and applications. The main purpose of this Special Issue will develop better outlines for the sustainable management of water resource and environmental monitoring.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:

• Modelling water quality using artificial intelligence technique
• reservoir water quality modeling
• application of statistical methods in water and environmental resources; environmental and water quality
• dams reservoir operation
• environmental monitoring
• ecology and pollution research
• modelling water quality
• river water temperature and dissolved oxygen modelling and forecasting; evaporation and evapotranspiration
• river flow modelling and forecasting, reservoir water operation; modelling hydro-climatic variables
• Hydro-Informatics; Ecohydraulic modeling
• sediment transport
• assessment of changes in land use and land cover classes and their impacts on the water resources and environmental monitoring in the semi-arid and arid areas
• climate change impact on the water resources and environmental monitoring changes with glacier mapping and increased sea water level on the earth surface, surface runoff modelling and forecasting using machine learning models and hydrological Modflow models
• hydrological modelling for sustainable water resources
• climate change impact on agriculture water management and groundwater level in semi-arid and arid regions
• soil erosion and sediments identification and predication using machines learning models and satellite data
• forecasting of drought and rainfall with other environmental factors for water resources management and development in the arid and semi-arid areas
• planning and management of irrigation water requirement and estimation of ET₀ for water resources planning
• flood assessment and susceptibility modelling based on the Google earth engine and remote sensing technology
• environmental parameters monitoring and relationship with sustainable water resources planning

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
