Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is with great pleasure that we ask you to share your novel research results in the field of integrated watershed governance for sustainable production, social-ecological system, hydrology, hydraulics, water quality, environment, and climate change adaptation in a broad sense to the Special Issue “Resources and Sustainable Utilization” of Sustainability. Integrated water management in watershed governance plays a significant role in building sustainable cities and societies considering water availability, hydroclimate variability, water pollution, and ecological impairment. Furthermore, strategic natural resource management with sustainable utilization can assist in providing solutions for water and environmental issues in the world. Moving toward integrated water governance is highly crucial to solving global issues related to water resource management including complexity and variability under climate change. This Special Issue of Sustainability is envisioned to showcase the state-of-the-art in the adaptation and use of observed data for social-ecological systems, water resources, water quality, aquatic ecosystems, and the natural environment.
Given the importance and relevance of this Special Issue, we invite researchers to contribute original research articles as well as review articles. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Integrated water governance
- Water resources management
- Sustainable social-ecological systems
- Hydrological/environmental modeling
- Water quality monitoring
- River ecosystem resilience
- Geomorphological processes and characteristics
- Water policy
- Environmental assessment
- Natural disaster risk analysis
- Machine learning technology
