“…Operational and stochastic variables are commonly encountered jointly in a variety of water‐related setting, for example, eutrophication of shallow water systems (Pastres et al., 1999), hydrological and financial management of river systems (Hamilton et al., 2022), protection of diked wetlands (Alminagorta et al., 2016), water management within the socio‐hydrological perspective (Elshafei et al., 2016), management of sewer overflows in a urban river (Riechel et al., 2016), risk assessment of drinking water supply (Cantoni et al., 2021), urban flood scenarios (Wu et al., 2021), live cycle of small water resource recovery facilities (Thompson et al., 2022) and tomato production in urban environments (Peña et al., 2022), regulation of rivers under climate change (Patil et al., 2022), management of grape harvest (Lo Piano et al., 2022), impact of coastal shrimp ponds in saltwater intrusion (Hou et al., 2022), crop yields under climate change (Karimi et al., 2022), analysis of water networks (Chen et al., 2022), investigation of riparian freshwater lenses (Jazayeri et al., 2021), impact of partially penetrating barriers on island freshwater lenses (Yan et al., 2021), impact of water withdrawals on waterfalls features (Schalko & Boes, 2021), functioning of sewer networks (Dobson et al., 2022), sediment management for dams (Niu & Shah, 2021), wave propagation in pressurized pipe (Wang, 2021) and algal growth dynamics (Hariz et al., 2023), just to name a few.…”
