Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water demand is growing across the globe due to an increase in the population. It leads to threats in water resources, ecosystem collapse, and many socioeconomic impacts. In this regard, sustainable water resource development plays a crucial role in meeting the increasing water demand from the local to global scale. Addressing the spatial and temporal value of water in addition to developing new indicators for quantifying the concept of sustainability in water resources can help us to overcome current and upcoming water conflicts and scarcities.
The contributions to this Special Issue shall focus on a wide range of topics in sustainable water resources, including but not limited to:
- Sustainable water resource development, water scarcity, and drought management;
- New indicators for sustainable of water resource development;
- Integrated water resource management;
- Reservoir operation and sustainable water resource management in the context of climate change;
- Unconventional water and sustainable water resource development;
- Spatiotemporal value of water;
- Water, food, and energy nexus in sustainable water resource development;
- Managed aquifer recharge and sustainable water resource management;
- Transboundary water resource management;
- Prioritization of management, adaptation, and mitigation tools to optimize water resource development;
- Interaction of different water demands with respect to availability of spatiotemporal water availability;
- Case studies in sustainable water resource management.
