In recent years, the immense potential of artificial intelligence (AI) has been widely recognised within both the water research community and the water industry, with a growing number of studies and AI-driven systems reported in the literature. This special collection is dedicated to presenting the latest advances in the development and application of AI-based approaches and computer systems to address intricate challenges in water resources management, such as, rainfall forecasting, reservoir operation, pressure control, and urban water infrastructure monitoring, operation, and maintenance. It provides an insight into the challenges and future research directions within the realm of integrating AI with water research, which is pivotal to build sustainable and resilient water systems of the future.
