This chapter aligns with SDGs 3 and 6 by examining the relative capacity and capability of developing nations to adapt to hydrological variability arising from climate change and to study the challenges faced by developing economies to mitigate the impact of climate change on water resources.

This chapter aligns with SDGs 3 and 6 by examining how changes in precipitation, land use, EWEs, and necessary pollution control will force changes in how we farm.

This chapter aligns with UN SDG Goals 6 and 12 by improving waste treatment and resource efficiency in the oil and gas sector.

This chapter aligns with UN SDG Goals 3 and 14 by addressing the impact of crude oil spills on marine ecosystems and exploring sustainable solutions for mitigating pollution.

Aligns most closely with SDGs 11 and 6, looking at factors affecting water governance and supply, environmentally sustainable allocation and use of water, water markets as a tool to reallocate water in ways which promote efficiency and social equity.

This chapter addresses global water scarcity by turning wastewater into a safe and reusable water source and promotes circular water systems.

This chapter provides a strategic blueprint for managing freshwater under climate stress and population growth. It supports long-term resilience through water‑scarcity indicators and technologies.

This chapter aligns with Goals 6, 9 and 11 by detailing remote sensing for environmental considerations, water resource management, land use changes on urban heat islands, urban growth modeling and ecological monitoring

This chapter aligns with SDG 6 by showing applications of mapping various data sources such as rainfall, temperature, soil moisture, and vegetation cover, based on several drought indices. The utilization of these maps can aid in the identification of drought-affected regions and, subsequently, prioritize the allocation of water resources accordingly.

This chapter aligns with SDGs 3 and 6 by distinguishing hydrogeological plumes from atmospheric plumes in this chapter by referring to them as leaks, considering environmental or potential disasters from the perspective of groundwater contamination.
