Special Issue on Water Resources Protection Policy

Water source protection involves the protection of surface water sources and the protection of groundwater sources from contamination of any kind. Water source protection includes basic measures and rules such as the installation of a fence around the source or the banning of grazing animals in the surrounding area. Although very simple, these measures are highly effective. In the past, the need for water source protection has often been neglected.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 water resources protection policy.

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