Moreover, an overview of the SI is included. The papers selected for publication in the SI include review and research papers on water history, on water management issues under water scarcity regimes, on rainwater harvesting, on water quality and degradation, and on climatic variability impacts on water resources. Overall, the issue identify and highlight the main challenges in water sector, and particularly in management and protection of water resources and in use of alternative (non-conventional) water resources, especially in areas with demographic change and climate vulnerability in order to achieve sustainable and secure water supply. Furthermore, general guidelines and possible solutions for an improved and sophisticated water management system are proposed and discussed, such as the adoption of advanced technological solutions and practices that improve water-use efficiency and the use of alternative water resources, to address the growing environmental and health issues and to reduce the emerging conflicts among water users. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 606 $aEnvironmental economics$2bicssc 610 $adrought 610 $aearly warning 610 $awater scarcity 610 $awater supply 610 $aroutine monitoring 610 $ahydrologic modeling 610 $aremote sensing 610 $aGIS 610 $aalternative water source 610 $arainwater harvesting 610 $aarid and semi-arid areas 610 $ahydraulics 610 $adividing flow manifold 610 $ashowerheads 610 $asprays 610 $adissolved oxygen 610 $aclimate change 610 $awater budget 610 $ageneral circulation model 610 $amodeling 610 $astream flow changes 610 $asoil water 610 $aRCP 610 $aAculeo Lagoon 610 $aChile 610 $awater demands 610 $awater management 610 $arainwater harvesting system 610 $amulti-storey residential building 610 $aend-uses 610 $aeconomic feasibility 610 $asatisfaction survey 610 $aecological water demand 610 $areservoir ecological operation 610 $aMIKE 11 model 610 $aPHABSIM model 610 $awatershed management 610 $awater quality 610 $aconventional farming 610 $aorganic farming 610 $anitrate 610 $aresidual sodium carbonate 610 $asodium adsorption ratio 610 $atotal dissolved solids 610 $airrigation practices 610 $aAztecs 610 $abronze age 610 $aByzantine times 610 $aChinese dynasties 610 $aEgyptians 610 $aHarappans 610 $aHellenic civilizations 610 $aIncas 610 $amedieval times 610 $aMayas 610 $aMesopotamia 610 $aMinoans 610 $amodern times 610 $aOttoman times 610 $aRomans 610 $awater resources management 610 $awater reuse 610 $aclimate variability 610 $acircular economy 610 $asustainability 610 $along-term 610 $aregional water supply planning 610 $aalternative water supply 610 $aprojects 610 $aexpenditures 610 $ainvestments 610 $aconservation 610 $aintermittent water supply 610 $apressure monitoring 610 $aunreliable water supply 610 $apipe breaks 610 $awater distribution system 610 $awater system operation 610 $awater scarcity regime 610 $awater use efficiency 610 $arain harvesting 610 $adesalination 615 7$aResearch & information: general 615 7$aEnvironmental economics 700 $aTzanakakis$b Vasileios$4edt$01278700 702 $aParanychianakis$b Nikos$4edt 702 $aAngelakis$b Andreas$4edt 702 $aTzanakakis$b Vasileios$4oth 702 $aParanychianakis$b Nikos$4oth 702 $aAngelakis$b Andreas$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557780403321 996 $aWater Supply and Water Scarcity$93013750 997 $aUNINA
