Multicriteria Analysis and Decision-Making in Water Resources Management
This special issue belongs to the section "Water Resources Management, Policy and Governance".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sustainable management of water resources is critical to the quality of life for present and future human communities, as well as for natural systems. This importance is hightened by changing development patterns, resource extraction, and the impacts of changing climate. The integration of multicriteria analysis for water resources across various spatial scales is imperative for ensuring the planet’s future sustainabilty. To further address these and related issues, we welcome studies from all relevant fields, including experimental research, monitoring approaches, and modeling. This Special Issue will highlight emerging research and strategies for the preservation, management, and sustainable development of the water–decision science nexus.
