About this Research Topic
Availability of water for domestic and agricultural activities have become crucial due to rapid urbanization, growing population, and climate change. It is essential to develop effective strategies for managing water resources sustainably. These stressors complicate water resources management and pose a major bottleneck in achieving many United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The affected SDGs that relate to these issues are 1) SDG2: zero hunger, 2) SDG6: clean water and sanitation and 3) SDG 13: climate action. To achieve these SDGs, recent advancement in hydrological modelling and water resources management offer promising solutions, including access to safe and affordable drinking water, sanitation, and the protection and restoration of freshwater ecosystems.
Thus, the collective goal of this Research Topic is to showcase the latest research and developments in the field of hydrological modelling as well as water resources monitoring and management. It will provide specific focus to how these advances can contribute to the achievement of the UN SDGs related to water resources. In particular, the individual goals of this Research Topic are to contribute knowledge towards:
1) Integrated water resource management.
2) Climate change adaptation.
3) Water quality management.
4) Data driven decision-making through hydrological modelling.
5) Advancement in technologies/tools for water resource management.
6) Engaging stakeholders to promote a holistic approach to water resources management.
This Research Topic welcomes the reviews and original studies from researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to share their knowledge and experiences, promote collaborations, and contribute relating to the models, tools & technologies relating to the recent advances made in hydrological modelling and water resources management to achieve SDGs. The editors believe that this Research Topic will contribute towards delivering effective workflows for the implementation and management of water resources to ensure sustainability in the world around us.
