Preface
Infrastructure that manages our water resources (such as dams and reservoirs, irrigation systems, channels, navigation waterways, water and wastewater treatment facilities, storm drainage systems, levees, urban water distribution, and sanitation systems) are critical to all sectors of an economy. Yet, they are aging beyond their design lifespan in many parts of the world. In addition, these infrastructures are subjected to excessive “wear and tear” from factors such as (but not limited to) rising water demand, increasing frequency of flooding from urbanization or human encroachment of water bodies. Such water management infrastructures, by virtue of their service to society, are also directly or indirectly responsible for changes to the surrounding landscape. For example, a newly built water supply distribution system favors a faster growth rate of urban development which then leads to landscape transforming to one th
