Special Issue on

Fresh Water Resource Utilization and Management

Freshwater ecosystems include lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams. Lakes are large bodies of freshwater surrounded by land, while ponds are smaller bodies of water surrounded by land. Most lakes are still and contain diverse plant and animal life. Rivers and streams are moving bodies of freshwater, which usually originate in mountains and come from melting ice or ground water and eventually flow into the ocean. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in the area of fresh water resource utilization and management.

In this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles that explore fresh water resource utilization and management. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Sources of fresh water
• Water distribution
• Aquatic organisms
• Fresh water as a resource
• Fresh water resources management
• Fresh water in the future

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly note that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title should be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Fresh Water Resource Utilization and Management” should be selected during your submission.
