Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The overall objective of this Special Issue is to trace the role of water resources’ use and misuse and water conservation in ecosystem sustainability. Water is a very precious resource in many parts of the world. However, it is also misused in other parts of the world. This Special Issue will hopefully identify such situations and develop solutions. One of these situations of misuse can be found in irrigation water use. However, such situations do occur wherever water is not priced.
The scope of this Special Issue is open but limited to water resources and irrigation water use and misuse. Manuscripts must show a connection with ecosystem sustainability. Papers on other types of other water users are also welcome.
This issue of the journal will be highly relevant as it will highlight the connection between ecosystem sustainability and water resources. These studies might lead to better policy formulation in the future for regulation of water resources.
Water resources, including the use of water for irrigation of crops, have been widely studied, but their connection to sustainability and, in particular, ecosystem sustainability has not received the same attention. Studies in this issue of the journal will not only demonstrate the importance of water management to ecosystem sustainability but also develop measures to improve it.
