World Water Day, observed yearly on March 22, underscores the critical importance of clean water and sanitation in advancing sustainable development. As outlined in Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6), access to clean water and sanitation is not just a matter of health and well-being, but a fundamental human right that affects the dignity and survival of millions worldwide.  According to current estimates, 2.2 billion people globally do not have access to safely managed water services (Water.org 2024)  

Water is essential for good health, for economic productivity, for education, and for the empowerment of communities. The ethics of water revolve around its responsible use and preservation. As a vital resource for all life, it’s crucial to ensure equitable access, prevent waste, and protect water sources from pollution. Ethical stewardship of water helps safeguard our planet’s future and supports sustainable living for generations to come.

Engineering: Energy Management System

Power system energy management is performed at different levels with different aims. The most important goals of optimal energy management of the power systems are cost reduction, reduce emissions, improve reliability and power quality indexes, increase profitability, etc. Innovative methods can be used to provide an energy management plan, or energy management can be defined as an optimization problem and optimization algorithms can be used to solve it. Uncertainties are also very important issues in power system operation programs, especially in the lower levels of the power system (microgrids). The electric vehicle parking lots or aggregators can also be used in the microgrids to store energy, in which case the issue of energy management takes on a new face. Therefore, to provide a good energy management program for the power system, one must have a detailed knowledge of its components and the technical constraints of the power system. Therefore, to provide a good energy management program, a comprehensive model of the power system with detailed data should be provided.
