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. 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 reflects the latest scientific findings and research approaches from engineering, social and environmental disciplines in order to address the current, complex discourse on water scarcity and quality. Given its transdisciplinary nature, the book not only helps to build bridges between the diverse sectors, but also offers a source of inspiration for researchers and policymakers concerning the further development of concepts, approaches, and methodologies for promoting water secure societies. It is intended for a broad range of stakeholders, e.g. policymakers, planners, and practitioners developing sustainable water security enhancement strategies that are grounded in sound scientific evidence and thus contribute to the achievement of the SDGs..
