Atmospheric Water Resources: Physical Mechanisms and Key Technologies

Session ID#: 157085

Session Description:
Water resources management has witnessed an enormous progress during the past several decades. However, with population growth and climate change, future water availability would become even more critical. As traditional water resources have been over-exploited in quantity and degraded in quality in many regions all over the world, it is of great significance to explore non-traditional water resources, e.g., atmospheric water resources (AWR). Some challenges and issues exist in enhancing societies’ capabilities in utilizing AWR, including: (1) spatial-temporal evolution of AWR based on multi-source data; (2) variation features of AWR at different atmospheric levels; (3) physical mechanisms, effectiveness, and development potential of AWR utilization; and (4) key technologies of AWR utilization. We welcome all contributions that address the supplementary and complementary role of each of the above challenges and issues and also their integration.
