    This study focuses on sustainable water resources management among extensive sustainable campus design principles. Water is a non-renewable asset for our increasingly arid geography due to reasons such as global warming. The sustainable approach to water resources consists of reclamation and capture of rainwater/stormwater, treatment and reuse of wastewater, protection and enhancement of groundwater quality and natural water bodies (creeks, streams, rivers, lakes and others) and creating water-efficient landscapes. Green infrastructure systems provide natural drainage and infiltration, prevent floods, improve water quality, and enhance ground water. In this study rainwater/stormwater is treated as a non-renewable resource instead of wastewater. This water resource can be captured and reused for different purposes such as irrigation, groundwater recharge, green corridors and landscape amenity by integration of rainwater/stormwater features into the site design. This study develops strategies for use of green infrastructure systems and recommendations to guide the implementation of these strategies. As a case study, first the current state of stormwater sustainability at Izmir Institute of Technology (IYTE) Campus, located in Gulbahce-Urla (Izmir), is discussed. Then, to improve and sustain the hydrologic balance, green infrastructure best management practices (BMPs) for IYTE School of Architecture grounds are developed as a pilot study of an ongoing masters thesis.

    Editorial: Water Resources Management in a Changing World: Challenges and Opportunities
    (Springer Verlag, 2016) Tayfur, Gökmen; Tayfur, Gökmen; Cancelliere, Antonino; Garrote, Luis; 03.03. Department of Civil Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Although the science of water management has experienced significant improvements over the past century, many issues still require the attention of the scientific community. Global change, growing population and increasing pressure on existing water supplies have intensified the need for further improvement of water resources management practice. The purpose of this special issue is to present some of the latest research carried out in the area of water resources management under uncertain and changing conditions. Articles in this issue highlight recent advances in this area covering all the aspects of the hydrologic cycle.
