Journal of Hydroinformatics Special Issue on:

Utilizing Hydroinformatics for Efficient Water Systems Management

Climate change is considered the main cause of water-related problems today. There is a need for efficient urban water systems, that offer minimization of physical (real) water losses, high-quality water supplied and low energy waste.

This Special Issue was created in relation to the 3rd EWaS International Conference ‘Insights on the Water-Energy-Food Nexus’, held from 27th to 30th of June 2018, in Lefkada Island/Greece.

The main focus of the conference was on efficient water systems, with topics ranging from hydraulics, hydrology, water resources systems management, climate change through to environmental systems.
