The goal was immediate because the ultimate purpose was to help bring disturbed watersheds to a better condition or a utopian sustainable status. The steps followed to attain this objective included publishing studies on the understanding of factors and variables that control hydrology and water quality changes in response to human activities. Following this first step, the Special Issue selected work that described adaption measures capable of improving the watershed condition (water availability and quality), namely LULC conversions (e.g., monocultures into agro-forestry systems). Concerning the LULC measures, however, efficacy was questioned unless supported by public programs that force consumers to participate in concomitant costs, because conversions may be viewed as an environmental service.Research & information: generalbicsscflood vulnerabilityland use conflictswater managementsoil conservationspatial multi-criteria analysisgeographic information systemwater pollutionriparian forestenvironmental Lawanthropogenic catchmentwatershed managementland use policychanges in hydrological componentseffects of human activitiesLUCCWRUBAPYiluo RiverSWATwater balance componentsLand Use and Land Cover changeswildfiresafforestationriparian buffer widthlandscape compositionregression modelinteraction termBrazilian Forest Codefarmland abandonmentLULC changesclimate changerunoff/suspended sediment changesriver morphology dynamicsItalian Apennineswater qualitylandscape metricsPLS-SEMscaleseasondistance from pollution sourcesscript filesmean diurnal profilewavelet coherencegroundwater rechargewater resources managementConservative Use Potentialriver basinwater balancelakesreservoirsNenjiang watershedLandsatdiurnal thermal profileurban tributarieswaveletcovarianceflowwater discharge ecosystem servicespayments for environmental servicesland useResearch & information: generalPacheco Fernando A.Ledt1287826Sanches Fernandes Luís FilipeedtPacheco Fernando A.LothSanches Fernandes Luís FilipeothBOOK9910557396903321Impacts of Anthropogenic Activities on Watersheds in a Changing Climate3038812UNINA
