Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increasing uncertainty concerning the future of climate and social behavior has created global concern and doubt as to whether water resource management is being carried out in a sustainable way. In 2000, with the adoption of the Water Framework Directive (WFD), we faced a new challenge in considering the environmental aspects of integral water management. After 20 years of having adopted the WFD, we can point out the effects of the new water management approach and define new challenges. Monitoring water resources and studying different future scenarios are extremely important for increasing knowledge. Hence, management scenarios that aim to mitigate these impacts must be studied, obtaining preventive or adaptive measures in different risk locations.
It is therefore essential to manage water resources sustainably, to reconcile the interests of water users, and to protect and not deteriorate the state of the natural environment, for which monitoring is essential as a complement to this management.
For this Special Issue, studies on the latest knowledge in the field of sustainable water management will be especially welcome, with the aim of covering different methodologies in order to test different scenarios. Therefore, this Special Issue welcomes contributions such as original research articles, technical articles, or reviews, which may be related to water management in urban areas, agriculture, industry, water-use efficiency, etc.
