“…Despite our earnest efforts to provide an encompassing review, the timing of our review process and manuscript preparation precludes the inclusion of recent publications from 2023. We acknowledge the emergence of these studies post our review phase and emphasize their potential to further enrich the discourse on blockchain applications in water management [115,[203][204][205][206]. Prospective studies focusing on the literature published in 2023 and beyond could offer invaluable insights and underscore the evolving nature of this research domain.…”

Blockchain technology has been used for the digitalization of physical asset management and data management processes in many areas in the industry and academia, including the water domain. Its potential as an immutable data storage system and smart contract integration has provided a plethora of use cases and utility in the domain of hydrology and water resources. This systematic review critically examines the application of blockchain technology in the field of water resources and hydrology. By analyzing 104 academic publications and 37 non-academic studies from 2017 to 15 October 2022, this paper identifies the current state of blockchain applications in water management, delineates their potential use cases, and assesses their practical utility and scalability. Despite the theoretical promise of blockchain for enhancing water governance, data security, and stakeholder trust, the review reveals a noticeable gap between theoretical potential and the existence of workable, real-time applications specifically in water resources management. The findings indicate that while blockchain technology has been effectively implemented in various sectors, its adoption in hydrological domain is still emerging, with limited empirical evidence to support full-scale deployment. The paper concludes with a call for more empirical research to validate theoretical benefits, address scalability and interoperability challenges, and integrate blockchain technology with real-time data networks for sustainable water management practices.

The planetary ecosystem currently confronts a myriad of dire environmental predicaments, necessitating immediate and decisive action to forestall irreversible damage wrought by economic activities. Embracing the tenets of circular economy (CE) presents a compelling and exigent opportunity to attenuate wastage and engender resource recycling. In this milieu, blockchain technology (BCT) emerges as a pivotal instrumentality in imbricating CE principles into the tapestry of environmentally conscientious supply chain practices. However, the enigmatic nature of the factors that undergird the seamless integration of BCT into CE practices bespeaks a pressing need for further elucidation. This inquiry endeavors to scrutinize executives' perspectives regarding adopting BCT as a fulcrum for CE and its multifaceted impact on organizational performance. A research model predicated on the belief–action–outcome (BAO) framework was conceptualized and scrutinized utilizing partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS‐SEM) with data gleaned from 164 responses from Malaysian manufacturing firms. The findings evince that respondents' attitudes were significantly swayed by the organizational CE culture, their cognitive grasp of BCT principles, and their normative inclinations. Furthermore, the investigation unearthed that personal norms and attitudes wielded a palpable influence on the inclination to adopt BCT to catalyze CE, thereby exerting a substantive impact on the organization's economic and environmental performance. A roadmap delineating a trajectory to further facilitate BCT‐propelled CE is proffered.
