Water Resources, Environment, and Ecosystems: Application of New Technology

Dear Colleagues,

Efficient use of water resources is the key to ensuring sustainable development. Due to the complex relationship between resource utilization, economy and environment, the scientific and accurate evaluation of water resource carrying capacity has good social benefits. Climate change and intensifying human activity are projected to affect water quality and exacerbate many forms of ecological degradation. The mechanisms underlying climate change on water resources and ecosystems, its major driving factors and responses of ecosystems to water pollution under changing climatic conditions is still not fully understood. On the other hand, the study of water resources, water environment and water ecosystems is undergoing a revolution owing to the development and application of a diverse range of new technologies and methods. However, these latest technologies and methods are still supported by relatively limited scientific evidence. There is an increasing need to understand how climate change affects water resources and ecosystems. The Special Issue ‘Water Resources, Environment, and Ecosystems: Application of New Technology’ seeks to create such a platform to review and present advanced methodologies, current progress and challenges, as well as future opportunities in water ecosystem management.
