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 & technologybicsscsystem dynamicssystem analysiscomplex water systemuncertainty assessmentclimate changeregional climate modelsaveraging proceduresHEC-HMSLim riverLim water systemsartificial rechargegroundwatertreated wastewaterfreshwater resourceswater footprintwater managementwine productionwinemaking sectorItalySuDSdecision-makingSoft SystemsANPmodellingstakeholdersystems analyseswater resourcesplanningmanagementimplementationpolitical processesinnovationimpactmulti-purpose damwater resources systemsperformance-based engineeringsimulationresiliencedisasterriskperceptioncommunityCanadaintegrated urban watershed managementgroup decision-support systemrisk analysisgroup consensusKashafroud watershedwater policywater portfolio planningwater resources managementsystems assessmentadaptive capacitycoupled human-natural systemsintegrated water resources managementsociohydrologymodeling perspectivesagent-based modelingdifferential equationsuncertaintyartificial intelligencemachine learningwater resource modellingmultiobjective optimisationriver abstractionreservoir operationstochastic dynamic programmingfuzzy optimizationreservoir-river systemwater quantity-quality managementsocio-hydrologyhydro-sociologyhuman-water systemshuman-nature systemssocial-ecological systemsCHANSSESsocio-hydrologic modelingIWRMhydrologymultireservoir operationsoptimizationmulti-agent reinforcement learningaggregation-decompositionneural networkssystemscomplexityHistory of engineering & technologySimonovic Slobodan Pedt901413Simonovic Slobodan PothBOOK9910557599103321Application of the Systems Approach to the Management of Complex Water Systems3032069UNINA
