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. 606 $aHistory of engineering & technology$2bicssc 610 $asystem dynamics 610 $asystem analysis 610 $acomplex water system 610 $auncertainty assessment 610 $aclimate change 610 $aregional climate models 610 $aaveraging procedures 610 $aHEC-HMS 610 $aLim river 610 $aLim water systems 610 $aartificial recharge 610 $agroundwater 610 $atreated wastewater 610 $afreshwater resources 610 $awater footprint 610 $awater management 610 $awine production 610 $awinemaking sector 610 $aItaly 610 $aSuDS 610 $adecision-making 610 $aSoft Systems 610 $aANP 610 $amodelling 610 $astakeholder 610 $asystems analyses 610 $awater resources 610 $aplanning 610 $amanagement 610 $aimplementation 610 $apolitical processes 610 $ainnovation 610 $aimpact 610 $amulti-purpose dam 610 $awater resources systems 610 $aperformance-based engineering 610 $asimulation 610 $aresilience 610 $adisaster 610 $arisk 610 $aperception 610 $acommunity 610 $aCanada 610 $aintegrated urban watershed management 610 $agroup decision-support system 610 $arisk analysis 610 $agroup consensus 610 $aKashafroud watershed 610 $awater policy 610 $awater portfolio planning 610 $awater resources management 610 $asystems assessment 610 $aadaptive capacity 610 $acoupled human-natural systems 610 $aintegrated water resources management 610 $asociohydrology 610 $amodeling perspectives 610 $aagent-based modeling 610 $adifferential equations 610 $auncertainty 610 $aartificial intelligence 610 $amachine learning 610 $awater resource modelling 610 $amultiobjective optimisation 610 $ariver abstraction 610 $areservoir operation 610 $astochastic dynamic programming 610 $afuzzy optimization 610 $areservoir-river system 610 $awater quantity-quality management 610 $asocio-hydrology 610 $ahydro-sociology 610 $ahuman-water systems 610 $ahuman-nature systems 610 $asocial-ecological systems 610 $aCHANS 610 $aSES 610 $asocio-hydrologic modeling 610 $aIWRM 610 $ahydrology 610 $amultireservoir operations 610 $aoptimization 610 $amulti-agent reinforcement learning 610 $aaggregation-decomposition 610 $aneural networks 610 $asystems 610 $acomplexity 615 7$aHistory of engineering & technology 700 $aSimonovic$b Slobodan P$4edt$0901413 702 $aSimonovic$b Slobodan P$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557599103321 996 $aApplication of the Systems Approach to the Management of Complex Water Systems$93032069 997 $aUNINA
