Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Water calls for original research papers focused on the broadest sense of hydraulic infrastructure, from the management of the infrastructure itself in order to enhance its hydrological safety and optimize the demand–supply, to its management as part of regulated water resources systems so as to develop water basin plans.
Research studies related to planning and management of hydraulic infrastructure include: management of hydraulic structures to deal with droughts and floods, dam safety analysis, dam risk analysis, conflicts that arise from the operation of multipurpose reservoirs, integrated early warning systems, design of hydraulic infrastructure by simultaneously accounting for dam safety and water resources management, uncertainty analysis, climate change effects on water resources systems, sensitivity analysis of adaptation measures, the economic effect of climate change on regulated water resources systems, assessment of water availability, and evaluation of a system´s performance. Studies developing integrated modeling frameworks involving the social, human, economic, and environmental dimensions of the hydraulic infrastructures, and those dealing with conflict resolution and stakeholder-oriented systems, are also welcome.
