“…Finally, due to the disparities between water supply and demand, which can differ seasonally, and the need to trade-off development with protection of the aquatic environment, it is recommended that relevant departments implement a demand management model [48] for water resources in the river basin to alleviate water deficits and water use conflicts. During periods of high-water deficits, it is recommended to consider adopting an irrigation model that controls the allocation of water to agricultural and forest irrigation.…”

Guishui River Basin in northwestern Beijing has ecological significance and will be one of the venues of the upcoming Beijing Winter Olympic Games in 2022. However, accelerating climate change and human disturbance in recent decades has posed an increasing challenge to the sustainable use of water in the basin. This study simulated the runoff of the Guishui River Basin using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model to reveal the spatio-temporal variations of runoff in the basin and the impacts of climate change and human activities on the runoff changes. The results showed that annual runoff from 2004 to 2018 was relatively small, with an uneven intra-annual runoff distribution. The seasonal trends in runoff showed a decreasing trend in spring and winter while an increasing trend in summer and autumn. There was a first increasing and then decreasing trend of average annual runoff depth from northwest to southeast in the study area. In addition, the contributions of climate change and human activities to changes in runoff of the Guishui River Basin were 60% and 40%, respectively, but with opposite effects. The results can contribute to the rational utilization of water resources in the Guishui River Basin.

“…Water price is equal to 0.15 Euro/m 3 for fresh water and 0.23 Euro/m 3 for treated wastewater given the cost of treatment technologies. Yields, net irrigation requirements, and fertilizers' requirements pertaining both to fresh and treated wastewater were taken from previous work (Oubelkacem 2018) carried out in the same area where the safe irrigation management (SIM) model (Dragonetti et al 2020) was applied to assess the effects of different quality waters on crop yield and the water balance and establish a correct irrigation and nutrient management strategy.…”

“…This cluster also emerged anew in the second phase and directly implies the challenges faced by urban areas in wastewater treatment and management. This includes studies that adopted different treatment technologies and management strategies such as forwardosmosis membrane system to treat industrial wastewater [74], and treated wastewater for irrigation purposes [75,76]. In a recent study, Delanka-Pedige et al (2021) [77] adopted a multi-criteria decision-making approach based on different criteria related to UN SDGs to evaluate different wastewater infrastructure facilities like membrane bioreactor, high-rate algal pond, etc., in wastewater treatment, especially in urban areas.…”

The connections between the scientific findings and SDG 6 are often not clear, which results in increasing the gap between technical developments and academic discourse, and the policy practitioners and/or implementers. The present paper explores the existing scientific research on water that directly connects to SDG 6 using a bibliometric analysis. The 637 scientific articles published between 2015–2021 (till 13 May 2021) were investigated for temporal development, scientific collaboration, existing research focus and the gaps. Interdisciplinary journals such as Science of the Total Environment and Journal of Environmental Management are found to be dominant sources along with water specific journals such as Water Research and Water (Switzerland). Open access journals make a dominant footprint and majority of author collaborations are found among authors from countries such as USA and UK while the research connections among authors from Global South are observed to be weak. Targets 6.1 (safe and affordable water), 6.3 (treatment and reuse of wastewater) and 6.5 (IWRM including through transboundary cooperation) are identified to be the highest referred to targets in scientific research in support of SDG 6. Though a significant evolution of scientific research is observed in connection to SDG 6 with increasing studies on groundwater, water governance, wastewater treatment, etc., in recent years, scientific studies connecting emerging concepts such as water security, water-energy-food nexus and ecosystem based approaches are still in an infant stage which calls for more research connecting these concepts and approaches to SDG 6 targets to attain a sustainable water environment by 2030 and beyond. This paper significantly contributes to tracking the progress in scientific research in connection to SDG 6 as well as highlights the hotspots where more collaboration between scientific communities and policy makers are required.
