This concept, due to its transversal, horizontal and interdisciplinary nature, can be used in many disciplines, scenarios, spatio-temporal dimensions and different circumstances. The intensive development in recent years of analytical techniques and tools based on disciplines such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, data mining, information theory and the Internet of Things, among others, has meant we are very well-placed for analysing the sustainability of water systems in a multiperspective way. Water systems management requires the most advanced approaches and tools for rigorously addressing all the dimensions involved in the sustainability of its development. Consequently, addressing the sustainability of water systems management may comprise physical (natural processes), chemical, socioeconomic, legal, institutional, infrastructure (engineering), political and cultural aspects, among others. This Special Issue welcomes general and specific contributions that address the sustainability of water systems management considering its development. Special interest will be given to those contributions that consider tradeoffs and/or integration between some of the aspects or disciplines that drive the sustainability of water systems in the context of their management and development.History of engineering and technologybicsscaquatic factorsaquifer managementartificial neural network (ANN)artificial neural networksbarbate river basinBayesian networksbiocalcarenitescausal reasoningchemical oxygen demand (COD)citizen surveysclimate changecompound parameterconcrete arch-damscontaminationdeformation scenarioseconomic efficiency of industrial water use (ECEIW)environmental efficiency of industrial water use (ENEIW)geomorphometric parametersgeospatial distributionGHGsGISglobal non-radial directional distance function model (GNDDF)green use efficiency of industrial water (GUEIW)groundwaterintegrated water resources managementirrigationmulti-modelsnitrogenpollutionpredictive methodsprioritizationrandom forestremote sensingrivers' sustainabilityrunoffrunoff fractionssafety managementSouth Korean urban industryspectral imagingstability scenariosSub-Saharan Africasulfatesuspended solidssustainability assessmenttemporal dependencetransition managementunauthorized useuncertaintyunmanned aerial vehiclewastewater treatment plant (WWTP)water governancewater managementwater qualitywater resourcewater safety planwater temperatureHistory of engineering and technologyMolina José-Luisedt1309875Molina José-LuisothBOOK9910557772603321Sustainability in the Development of Water Systems Management3029689UNINA
