“…The idea of advocating for IWM implies that most groundwater resources are better managed at the river basin level (Conservation Ontario 2010). Furthermore, Lyra et al (2022) propose an approach of using innovative models and simulations of the multiscale dynamics of surface and groundwater systems to potentially solve complex issues connected to water-related management. These goals may be even more challenging in light of recent global warming trends, and therefore, the management of water resources within a watershed should be developed in accordance with other factors.…”

The significance of Integrated Watershed Management (IWM) has increased in recent years due to its ecological, economic, and social implications. To align with these principles and achieve efficiency, watershed management necessitates the evaluation and integration of numerous diverse factors. This literature review aims to examine the current research trend in IWM and its association with various thematic elements. The identified thematic elements include water resources management, decision-making processes, agricultural and forested watersheds, soil management, natural hazards, stakeholder involvement, climate change, policy frameworks, cost management and risk analysis, livelihoods, ecosystem services, habitat and biodiversity conservation, and tourism. The predominant thematic elements were water resource management, decision-making, and agricultural and forested watersheds. The countries that were most frequently referred to in the examined literature were Ethiopia, China, the USA, and Iran. A synthesis of data obtained via the analysis of scientific research trends in the specified domain can serve as a basis for the establishment and strategizing of comprehensive watershed management. While it is important to consider all these aspects combined in IWM practice, it is also essential to have a comprehensive grasp of each factor as a vital step in integrating them. The participants involved in this endeavour, hailing from diverse professional backgrounds, must engage in close collaboration to successfully integrate the aforementioned aspects. The collaborative method can only have a chance of success if all participants involved demonstrate a high level of dedication. The level of dedication required should be grounded in a comprehensive understanding of the difficulties and demands that are mutually shared by all involved parties.

“…Lyra et al [8] highlight the effects of agronomic and water resources management scenarios on groundwater balance, seawater intrusion, and nitrate pollution and the comparison of the developed scenarios relative to the current crop production and water management regime in the coastal agricultural Almyros basin in the Thessaly region, central Greece. This area is characterized by intensive agricultural activities and increased water needs for irrigation purposes.…”

A risk analysis framework is proposed for the optimum remediation of a contaminated aquifer under hydrogeological uncertainty. The limited information and the spatial variation of hydraulic conductivity in a real-world large-scale aquifer create uncertain conditions for decision-making when remediation schemes ought to be accompanied by the minimum possibility of failure. The primary concern is focused on safeguarding public health when groundwater is used for urban drinking purposes from a contaminated aquifer. The proposed framework is based on the conjunctive use of stochastic simulation–optimization modelling followed up by a risk analysis application on remediation trade-offs. The framework includes three main steps/procedures: (i) the model formulation of multiple realizations of groundwater flow and contaminant transport, (ii) the optimal positioning and operation of the clean-up wells determined by the method of stochastic optimization, and (iii) the risk analysis of the optimum remediation strategies through a proposed decision model, so as the one with the minimum cost and risk of failure is chosen as the most appropriate. The proposed framework is tested for two scenarios of nitrogen fertilizer application in the cultivated areas. The strategic target is the groundwater nitrate concentration minimization in an area where exceedances of nitrate concentrations have been observed and water supply wells have been operating for the last twenty years satisfying domestic needs. The results demonstrate that, when decision-making is under hydrogeological uncertainty, the combined use of stochastic optimization and risk-based decision analysis can commend the remediation strategy with the minimum cost and the highest possibility of success.
