**Preface to "Feature Papers of Water Resources Management, Policy and Governance"**

This book includes the papers published in the *Water* Special Issue entitled "Feature Papers of Water Resources Management, Policy and Governance". The book includes seven papers by invited renowned researchers and engineers to cover various contemporary issues of water resource management, governance, and policy. Water resource management, policy, and governance are grea<sup>t</sup> global challenges. These global challenges are current and evident due to competition for limited resources, regional disparities in water supply and affluence, growing global water demand, surface water and groundwater depletion and pollution, and climate-change-induced water stress. Addressing these issues was the motivation for setting up this special collection of papers. The book is addressed to researchers, engineers and scientists, working in the field of water resources. The Guest Editors thank all the contributing invited authors, manuscripts reviewers, assistant editors, and the publication team of MDPI for the grea<sup>t</sup> support to the realization of the present book, especially, Rachel Lu, Assistant Editor.
