Special issue on comprehensive watershed management: sustainability, technology, and policy

Water is critically important to most facets of human life socially, culturally, spatially, politically, financially, and ecologically. Consequently, managing water holistically is complex and challenging. Integrated watershed management calls for scientific and engineering interventions and socio-economic considerations to improve watershed resilience to both natural disturbances and human activities. The diverse techniques and experiences toward watershed management practice can supplement more considerable experiential learning, especially in real-life implementation. This Special Issue of the Asia–Pacific Journal of Regional Science aims to help enhance our understanding of how integrated watershed practice can be supported by lessons from different geographic and socio-economic contexts.
