Integrated Water Resources Modeling and Management

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to invite you to submit your latest research findings in Integrated Water Resources Modeling and Management to a Special Issue of Water (IF 3.103, ISSN 2073-4441), an open-access journal (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/water). Submissions should include studies that advance the current state of knowledge or critical reviews of existing models and practices.

Integrated Water Resources Modeling and Management (IWRMM) is an empirical concept born from professionals’ own field experience. The concept of integrated water resources management (IWRM) gained strength starting from the World Summit on Sustainable Development in 1992 in Rio de Janeiro. It is still the subject of profound debate, including practical implications. IWRMM is a process that promotes the coordinated modeling, management and development of water, land and other related resources, in order to maximize economic results and social well-being in an equitable way without compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems. The topic is closely linked to water, territory and production, which materializes with the elaboration of updated management models, useful for researchers and for the administration of water resources, considered as a public and strategic good.

This Special Issue aims to collect recent advances on integrated water resources modeling and management, including but not limited to the following themes: (I) Integrated water resources management and water efficiency plans for sustainable development. (II) Modeling of water resources management in basins and analysis of the impacts of exploitation of water and energy resources. (III) Proposals for guidelines for a rational and sustainable management of water, land, energy and other related resources. (IV) Principles, frameworks, contributions and implementation of integrated water resources modeling and management in large basins. (V) Actual or predictive analysis of the effects produced by a rational application of integrated water resources modeling and management.
