ABSTRACT
Water resources face increasing vulnerability to climate-induced shock events, such as droughts, floods, and heat waves. This study conducted a bibliometric analysis of 213 Scopus-indexed publications from 2010 to 2025 for the purpose of mapping research trends, key contributors, and thematic evolution. Using VOSviewer, prominent keywords, co-authorship networks, and citation patterns revealed emerging clusters and persistent knowledge gaps. Findings indicated that a significant increase in scholarly attention occurred post-2015, with 68% of publications on drought resilience, integrated water management, and climate adaptation. While the Global North leads, input from African and Asian institutions is growing. This analysis provided actionable insights into resilient water governance, informing policy and identifying future research directions for climate-resilient water management.
