In this edition, many of these investigations have focused on the circular economy of water from different perspectives, such as its reuse, its quantification or the policies to promote this economic system. The work 'Economic Instruments for the Management of Water Resources in Spain', carried out by Nazareth María Montilla (Cordova University), has won the first Doctoral Thesis Award 2018, valued at 3,000 euros.
