Special Topic Information:

With the accelerating impacts of global climate change, population growth, and urbanization,
water resource management faces unprecedented challenges. This special topic aims to explore
the latest technologies and methodologies to achieve sustainable and efficient water resource
management. We are particularly interested in comprehensive solutions that address complex
environmental and socio-economic issues.

Key Research Areas Include but Are Not Limited to:

Impacts of Climate Change on Water Resources:

Effects of climate change on water availability and quality.
Application of climate models in water resource management.
Strategies for climate change adaptation in water resource management.

Smart Water Management Systems:

IoT-based water monitoring and management systems.
Applications of big data and artificial intelligence in water resource management.
Explainable AI in decision support systems for water resource management.

Multi-Objective Optimization and Soft Computing Techniques:

Multi-objective optimization methods for water allocation.
Soft computing techniques (e.g., genetic algorithms, fuzzy logic) in water resource management.
Optimal design of integrated water resource management systems.

Remote Sensing and GIS in Water Resource Management:

Remote sensing for water resource monitoring and assessment.
Integration of GIS in water resource planning and management.
Flood prediction and management using remote sensing and GIS.

Water Resource Protection and Restoration:

Water quality monitoring and pollution control technologies.
Policies and practices for water resource protection.
Role of ecosystem services in water resource management.

Socio-Economic Impacts of Water Resource Management:
