Three characteristics of this evolution are of particular note: First, the application of the systems approach to complex water management problems has been established as one of the most important advances in the field of water resource management. Second, the past five decades have brought a remarkable transformation of attitude in the water resource management community towards environmental concerns and action to address these concerns. Third, applying the principles of sustainability to water resource decision-making requires major changes in the objectives on which decisions are based, and an understanding of the complicated inter-relationships between existing ecological, economic, and social factors. The Special Issue includes 15 contributions that offer insights into contemporary problems, approaches, and issues related to the management of complex water resources systems. It will be presumptuous to say that these 15 contributions characterize the success or failure of the systems approach to support water resources decision-making. However, these contributions offer interesting lessons from current experiences and highlight possible future work.History of engineering and technologybicsscadaptive capacityagent-based modelingaggregation-decompositionANPartificial intelligenceartificial rechargeaveraging proceduresCanadaCHANSclimate changecommunitycomplex water systemcomplexitycoupled human-natural systemsdecision-makingdifferential equationsdisasterfreshwater resourcesfuzzy optimizationgroundwatergroup consensusgroup decision-support systemHEC-HMShuman-nature systemshuman-water systemshydro-sociologyhydrologyimpactimplementationinnovationintegrated urban watershed managementintegrated water resources managementItalyIWRMKashafroud watershedLim riverLim water systemsmachine learningmanagementmodeling perspectivesmodellingmulti-agent reinforcement learningmulti-purpose dammultiobjective optimisationmultireservoir operationsn/aneural networksoptimizationperceptionperformance-based engineeringplanningpolitical processesregional climate modelsreservoir operationreservoir-river systemresilienceriskrisk analysisriver abstractionSESsimulationsocial-ecological systemssocio-hydrologic modelingsocio-hydrologysociohydrologySoft Systemsstakeholderstochastic dynamic programmingSuDSsystem analysissystem dynamicssystemssystems analysessystems assessmenttreated wastewateruncertaintyuncertainty assessmentwater footprintwater managementwater policywater portfolio planningwater quantity-quality managementwater resource modellingwater resourceswater resources managementwater resources systemswine productionwinemaking sectorHistory of engineering and technologySimonović Slobodan Pedt0Simonović Slobodan PothBOOK9910557599103321Application of the Systems Approach to the Management of Complex Water Systems3032069UNINA
