Session Description | Water is an essential resource for all life in the world. Facing various climate and social-economic challenges, the sustainability of our water-based resources becomes a significant issue nowadays. The sustainability of water is affected by practices of water resources planning, management and decision-making. However, the inherent uncertainty of nature and hydrological processes could complicate these practices. This proposed session examines the issues of appropriate and optimal management of water related resources. Research studies employing theoretical works, social-economic, water resource planning management modeling, hazard or flood prevention, decision making processes, stochastic optimization or case studies are all welcome. We especially encourage interdisciplinary studies which make effort to bridge science and policy. |
