Special Issue on Water Security and Sustainable Solutions

Water Security and Sustainable Solutions focuses on ensuring the availability and quality of water resources for current and future generations while promoting environmental sustainability. This field addresses the growing challenges of water scarcity, pollution, and climate change impacts on water systems. It explores innovative solutions such as water conservation, efficient management, wastewater treatment, and desalination technologies. Additionally, sustainable practices like rainwater harvesting, integrated water management, and eco-friendly infrastructure are key components of this field. Water security aims to balance the needs of communities, agriculture, and ecosystems, ensuring equitable access to clean water while preserving vital resources for the future.
