This book describes the water security challenges with focus on
water scarcity and quality in our rapidly changing world. Achieving
water security is essential to promoting economic and social
development, as well as resource sustainability and ecosystem
integrity. Questions of water security are central to recent global
agreements such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the
Paris Agreement on Climate Change, and the Sendai Framework for
Disaster Risk Reduction. The thematic areas discussed here support
the SDGs, with special attention to Goal 6 ("Ensure availability
and sustainable management of water and sanitation"). The book is a
collection of studies from engineering, social and environmental
disciplines and aims at giving a balanced overview of the current ,
complex discourse on water scarcity and quality. It offers a source
of inspiration and information for researchers, policymakers,
planners, and practitioners concerning the further development of
concepts, approaches, and methodologies for promoting water secure
societies.
