While in smaller basins the focus of water resources management may be on project implementation, irrigation and drainage management, water use efficiency and flood operations; in larger basins, because of the greater complexity and competing interests, there is often a greater need for long-term strategic river basin planning across sectors and jurisdictions, and considering social, environmental, and economic outcomes. This puts a focus on sustainable development, including consumptive water use and non-consumptive water uses, such as inland navigation and hydropower. It also requires the consideration of hard or technical issues—data, modeling, infrastructure—as well as soft issues of governance, including legal frameworks, policies, institutions, and political economy. Rapidly evolving technologies could play a significant role in managing large basins. This Special Issue of Water traverses these hard and soft aspects of managing water resources in large river basins through a series of diverse case studies from across the globe that demonstrate recent advances in both technical and governance innovations in river basin management.Research & information: generalbicsscmulti-objective competition mechanismcascade reservoirs operationcopula functionPareto sethydropowerdamdamageecosystemconservation measuresenvironmental assessmentenvironmental flowsGISintegrated water resources managementriver basin planningGanga RiverIndiaparticipatory modellingconjunctive water usehydrologic modellingco-productiondevelopment assistancehydrological modellingirrigationIWRMrational choicestakeholder participationscenario analysiswater governancetransboundary waterscooperationintegrated water resource managementBrahmaputra River BasinSouth AsiaSMAPpassive microwave soil moisturesoil moisture downscalingdigital platformsstakeholder engagementequitable water sharingUN watercourse conventioninternational and transboundary riversNile River basindisruptive technologyriver basinslarge basinswater securitywater resources managementwater datainformation technologyanalyticsResearch & information: generalYoung Williamedt822576Harshadeep Nagaraja RaoedtYoung WilliamothHarshadeep Nagaraja RaoothBOOK9910557204803321Managing Water Resources in Large River Basins3016377UNINA
