Collection
Sustainable Water Security Strategy in Arid Areas
This Topical Collection encourages the submission of manuscripts focused on hydrology, water resources, water ecology, and the water environment, particularly on watershed water security, ecological governance options, ecological restoration technologies, and ecological security management. We welcome original research papers that aim to enhance the scientific community’s knowledge and provide valuable information on water ecological governance, water ecological restoration, water resources management, hydrological hazards and ecohydrological services. This approach includes all aspects of water ecological governance, characterisation, assessment, monitoring and management within a sustainable and eco-responsibility framework aiming a better multi and transdisciplinary knowledge in water cycle, environmental and societal impacts.
Potential topics in water ecology include but are not limited to the following: water ecological governance, water ecological restoration, water ecological security, hydrogeological mapping, water quality, isotope hydrology, fluid dynamics, water resources, water ecological engineering and modeling. Other emerging fields in water and environmental studies are most welcome, such as: GIS mapping, geovisualisation techniques, hydrogeomorphology, hydropedology, urban hydrology and planning, rural hydrogeology and small-scale water resources management, hydrotoponymy and cultural heritage, and hydrogeoethics.
The Keywords are:
Water security; Water ecology; Water ecological restoration; Water systems; Water resources management
