in the 21st century. It is a determinant for security in various societal and environ-mental
aspects including food energy economy environment and public health and thus has a complex
political momentum that goes far beyond the traditional water sector. In order to understand
to project to address and to plan for water security challenges one must collectively
understand exposure to climate and environment driven hazards as well as socio-economic
determinants and the cultural and political context within which mankind live work and play.

infrastructure and treatment systems and from remote sensing to social media) and innovative
financing and governance systems are proposed to address water security. This proceedings book
of an International Workshop in São Paulo Brazil will provide the reader the opportunity to
acquire knowledge on Water Security considering water governance and management technological

addressing the Sustainable Development Goals - Challenges and opportunities to reach Water
Security considering quality and availability and - Water Security lessons learned and long
