Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue is twofold. On the one hand, this Special Issue aims to propose initiatives that address the impacts of climate change on the hydro-environment and monitor the adaptation measures undertaken in the water engineering sector, both structural and non-structural. On the other hand, another objective of this Special Issue is to improve our understanding of the relationship between water-related decisions, society and the environment. These science-based results need to be transferred to water management institutions and companies, which requires intensive cooperation between scientists and managers to ensure the sustainable use of water. The concept of sustainability, which is extenisvely employed in international declarations and documents, is very appealing; however, further analysis is needed to develop an operational concept that is suitable for daily water management. Therefore, the long-term aim of this Special Issue is to promote the application of advanced technologies that could address problems regarding environmentally sound water management and to advance interdisciplinary approaches in hydraulic engineering, with a particular focus on ecological concerns.
Dr. Enrique Rosales Asensio
