Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Water highlights applied aspects of the challenges associated with climate change, population pressures, and water. The rise in temperatures and the number of people consuming water has created unprecedented challenges for water managers on the planet. This Special Issue will focus on the many associated issues surrounding drinking water, irrigation, and recreation. Articles should focus on a range of issues and solutions from technologies, to policies, to sociology, to economics.
