Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
To ensure the long-term environmental, economic, and social well-being of water resources, conservation and sustainable management require implementing strategies and techniques. This field includes a variety of approaches, including reducing water waste, improving water quality, strengthening water infrastructure, promoting water-efficient technologies, and implementing efficient management procedures. Communities can address water scarcity, mitigate the effects of climate change, protect ecosystems, and further sustainable development goals by putting a high priority on water conservation and adopting sustainable management practices. Given climate change, sustainable practices are necessary to guarantee year-round access to high-quality water. We can produce natural water retention measures that absorb water and delay runoff by restoring the sponge function of soils and wetlands. This lessens the severity of floods and increases water availability during droughts.
Accordingly, we invite submission that promote the following topics:
- Utilization of wetlands and natural sponges;
- Water reclamation strategies and techniques;
- Use of technologies for efficient desalination;
- Climate-resilient water systems;
- Bioretention techniques for pollution removal.
