*Further Information*
*This review explores the links, challenges, and gaps among six key elements of water management: watershed models, optimization algorithms, artificial intelligence, surrogate models, monitoring, and decision support systems. The main goals of this review are twofold: (1) to examine the established interrelationships among these key elements and analyze how these connections contribute to improved management effectiveness and (2) to identify and explore potential, yet unexplored, synergies among these elements that could lead to enhanced management practices. This study adheres to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, following steps for identification, screening, eligibility assessment, and selection while applying exclusion criteria and cross-referencing. The findings highlight that while advanced watershed models leveraging high-resolution datasets offer valuable insights, they face scalability challenges in capturing spatial and temporal variations. Additionally, the adaptability and performance of machine learning approaches are constrained by data limitations, including insufficiencies and inconsistencies across diverse sources. Overall, this synthesis provides actionable insights for advancing water quality protection and resource recovery by integrating emerging technologies with established management frameworks.
