Water management is a key environmental issue in controlling of
floods and reducing droughts. This book provides analysis of the
main issues, offering solutions and describing good practice. Water
Resources for the Built Environment: management issues and
solutions develops an appreciation of the diverse, complex and
current themes of the water resources debate across the built
environment, urban development and management continuum. The
integration of physical and environmental sciences, combined with
social, economic and political sciences, provide a unique resource,
useful to policy experts, scientists, engineers and subject
enthusiasts. By taking an interdisciplinary approach, water
resources issues and impacts on the built environment are presented
in the inventive and strategic setting of considering the
constraints of delivering potable water to an ever-demanding
society who, at the same time, are increasingly aware of living in
an urban landscape where excessive surface water creates a flood
threatened environment hence, the need to portray a balance between
too little vs. too much . This unique approach to the water
resources debate presents a multifaceted collection of chapters
that address the contemporary concomitant issues of water shortage
and urban flooding and proffers solutions specifically for the
built environment. The book is structured into three parts: the
first part (Sections 2, 3 and 4) addresses management issues and
solutions to minimise water shortages and provide water security
for society; whilst the second part of the book (Sections 5 and 6)
addresses management issues and solutions to control excessive
rainfall and minimise flooding impacts. The third part (Section 7)
contextualises the issues of the earlier sections within
international case studies from the developing world.
