Reviewer 2 Report

 

This paper study a dialectical Water-Man interaction model to water security, it is interesting, but many contents need to improve, some revision should do before publication.

1 Introduction, all of the reference 1,2,3,4,5,6 marked at the end of paragraphs, it is not suitable, I suggest the author revise it and add some references in paragraphs.

Line 153,183, the same with above

2 Line 46,there has a mistake in reference [3].

3 Line 79-83, the author should indicate the main research targets and contents briefly.

4 Figure 4,5,6 are too simple, I suggest delete it or revise in detail. The author should incorporate the figure 4-7 into one figure.

5 Discussion, more deeply discussion should add about the model compared to other models.

Reviewer 3 Report

Overall, the work is interesting, well written and structured. I have a few minor comments for the authors:

It is preferable not to repeat words from the title in keywords.

I recommend that the text on the figures be written in the same font as the text in the paper, because in its current form it looks tiring.

Use hyphen between values.

Line 126: Write [11,12] instead of [11], [12].

Line 153: Write [13,14] instead of [13], [14].

Same for lines 287, 307.

Use the Sustainability template to write the sources (journal abbreviation, volume, number, pages mostly).
