Water resources management seeks to meet the diverse needs of cities, small and rural communities, agriculture, and ecosystems. Water resource systems analysis uses a set of approaches that identify solutions for sustainable water management across human and environmental needs. These studies of coupled human-natural systems can also shed light on the interrelations of water systems with food production, energy generation and consumption, and land use. This Special Issue will bring together research and case studies, which demonstrate the diversity of ways that techniques from water resource systems analysis have been applied to management problems. The issue will allow readers to compare and contrast examples from across the globe, offering insights for future directions in water resources management that accounts for local conditions.
