背景
水是生命之源、生产之要、生态之基，但是这一种有限的资源正在快速地被全球迅猛增长的需求超越。联合国可持续发展目标（UN-SDG）第6项内容希望“为所有人提供水和环境卫生并对其进行可持续管理”，强调了水安全与可持续发展在社会与环境健康中的重要性。然而，全球目前的水资源现状正挑战这一目标。在全球范围内，20亿以上的人口生活在存在水资源短缺的国家。在中国，30%的区域内正在经历重度甚至极度的缺水，大约三分之二的城市存在用水困难的情况。如何管理好水资源，提升水资源的保障能力对于未来具有非常重要的战略意义。
全球变化正在给地球系统乃至未来带来极其深远的影响。全球变暖背景下，流域暴雨洪水、城市洪涝、大范围持续性干旱等极端事件趋多增强，海平面上升给沿海地区防洪带来新的挑战，同时对河口和海岸带的生态系统带来严重影响。这些变化导致流域生态系统的恶化，表现出多样性损失和退化加速等症状。加强流域综合管理，增强流域系统的韧性，保障流域水安全保障，支撑经济社会可持续发展，极大程度上依赖我们的科学技术创新及体制能力建设，也需要我们考虑调整我们的思考、生活和管理的方式，以适应和应对全球变化及其带来的新挑战。
在2015、2017年成功举办两届水安全与可持续发展的国际高端论坛的基础上，经中国工程院批准，由长江保护与绿色发展研究院（YICODE）、LD乐动体育app（HHU）和水利部 交通运输部 国家能源局 南京水利科学研究院（NHRI）共同举办第三届“水安全与可持续发展国际高端论坛”将于2020年继续在南京举办。我们诚挚地希望论坛可以成为水管理领域的学者、科技工作者以及决策者、实践者之间开展开放、坦诚、有效、跨学科交流的平台。真诚地欢迎来自世界各地的从业者参加为期两天的讨论，带来更多视角的观点。

Call for abstracts
The Third International Forum on Water Security & Sustainability
Background
Water lies at the heart of life and well-being, yet it is a finite resource which is quickly outpaced by the global demand in rapid growth. The UN SDG 6 aims at "availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all", prioritising the importance of water security and sustainability in the societal and environmental welfare. However, such welfare is challenged by the current water availability. On a global scale, more than two billion people live in countries experiencing high water stress. In China, 30% of its land area is suffering from high or extremely high water stress. About two thirds of Chinese cities are having problems sustaining a sufficient water supply. Therefore, properly managed water has a major stake in the future. Global changes are bringing immensely profound impacts to the earth system and hence the future.
Under a warming climate, extreme events like floods and droughts are staged at an increased intensity and frequency. The rising sea level poses major threat of coastal flooding, and impacts estuary systems drastically. These changes also stagger the ecological systems with symptoms such as biodiversity loss and rapid degradation. The success and resilience of water management is highly dependent on our technical innovations and institutional capacities. We need to change our ways of thinking, living and managing to adapt to such global changes.
In 2015 and 2017, two Forums on water security and sustainability have been held in Nanjing, attracting the attention of researchers both in China and around the world. Hence, YICODE, HHU and NHRI, sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Engineering, are proudly announcing the 3rd Forum of the series in 2020 to continue our discussion on water security and sustainability. We sincerely hope this could provide an open, frank, productive and multi-disciplinary forum for researchers and practitioners in the field. Researchers and practitioners around the globe are welcome to take part in the two-day discussion from cross-cutting perspectives.
Water security and sustainability
Climate change and adaptation
Flooding and flood risk management
Water saving and water security
Aquatic eco-systems and rehabilitation
Groundwater protection and sustainable development
River conservation and green development
Safety and resilience of water infrastructures
The Forum will be held in Nanjing, China on 16 to 19 November 2020. More details of the venue and programmes will be announced later.
