by Yong Xiao (Guest Editor), Jianping Wang (Guest Editor), Jinlong Zhou (Guest Editor)

"Hydrosphere under the Driving of Human Activity and Climate Change: Status, Evolution and Strategies" compiles research and reviews from a multidisciplinary topic spanning four leading journals (Land, Sustainability, Water, and Hydrology), presenting interdisciplinary insights into the hydrosphere's vulnerability and resilience under escalating anthropogenic and climatic pressures. Confronting global crisis, this reprint integrates advanced methodologies to decode complex interactions within surface and subsurface water systems. Emphasizing the urgency of balancing human needs with ecological resilience, the collection advocates for science-driven policies and innovative technologies to safeguard water security in diverse environments. The volume systematically explores groundwater sustainability in moisture-deficient regions, revealing how hydrogeochemical processes govern long-term resource availability under persistent scarcity. Beyond technical advancements, the reprint critically evaluates socio-environmental trade-offs. This reprint is indispensable for hydrologists, environmental scientists, policymakers, and engineers engaged in sustainable water management. By bridging empirical findings with actionable strategies, it equips stakeholders to address interconnected hydrological, ecological, and societal challenges in an era of escalating climatic and anthropogenic pressures. Educators and students will further benefit from its synthesis of emerging methodologies and cross-sectoral case studies, positioning it as a pivotal resource for advancing hydrosphere resilience and equitable water governance worldwide.
