Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
At the watershed level, water resources are used for various humans activities including agriculture, fishery, domestic supply, industry, recreation, transport, and energy. The multiplicity and magnitude of these anthropogenic water usages cause pressures on existing water resources which are affected qualitatively and quantitatively. Hence, a thorough understanding of environmental and climate change effects on water resources is needed to envision strategies that enhance water resource management and sustain natural ecosystems. This Special Issue of Water will assemble high-quality research, methodology, and review papers aiming to improve knowledge and practices in water quality and quantity management at the watershed scale. Watershed modeling research papers are welcomed, in addition to papers that address climate change, agriculture, land-cover changes, environmental changes, and livestock (grazing) in relation to water resources.
