Water Management in the Age of Climate Change
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water is a precious and unique resource for agriculture, domestic use, industry, and ecosystems. Climate change includes extreme weather, prolonged droughts, severe floods, and shifting precipitation patterns. Freshwater only accounts for 3% of the water resources, among which much is inaccessible. Therefore, the effective utilization and optimal management of these scarce water resources is critical for ecosystem sustainability, human well-being, and economic growth. The degradation of freshwater ecosystems, intensified by competing demands from agriculture, industry, and urbanization, highlights the urgent need for innovative solutions.
This collection focuses on the key challenges brought on by the impact of climate change on water resource management, in addition to the integration of traditional practices with advanced tools such as numerical modeling, machine learning, and hydro-informatics. We welcome contributions addressing the following:
- Groundwater modeling and management under climate change;
- Surface water and groundwater interactions and allocation;
- Machine learning and simulations for hydrologic dynamics;
- Multiphysics and multiphase systems in water resource management;
- Restoration of freshwater ecosystems and environmental flows;
- Precise agriculture and water-saving technologies;
- GIS and remote sensing in water resource planning;
- Rainwater harvesting and green infrastructure solutions;
- Hydro-informatics and heuristic tools for decision-making.
We invite original research and reviews that advance sustainable water management and propose actionable solutions for these pressing challenges.
