Interaction of hydro-socio-technology-knowledge indicators in integrated water resources management using soft-computing techniques

Various factors affect the development of social, cultural, and economic aspects of societies. One of these factors is the state of water resources. In this study, countries of the world with decreasing renewable water per capita were examined during the period 2005–2017. Specifically, 35, 5, 20, 48...
