Sponsored by the Sustainable Water Resources Management Task
Committee of the Environmental Council of the Environmental and
Water Resources Institute of the American Society of Civil
Engineers. Sustainable Water Resources Management presents the most
current thinking on the environmental, social, and political
dimensions of sustainably managing the water supply at local,
regional, or basin levels. The twin challenges of ensuring an
adequate water supply and the optimal allocation for different uses
are compounded by changes in climate, land use, demographic
patterns, and water availability. Written by leading experts from
around the world, the 33 chapters in this book provide
comprehensive information about different aspects of sustainable
water resources management. This book reviews various methods of
data collection and describes available tools for hydrological
modeling, with an emphasis on remote sensing and GIS. Chapters
cover the assessment of atmospheric water, surface water and
groundwater. Other topics include urban water management,
mitigation strategies for droughts and floods, the optimal use of
irrigation water, and issues in water reuse. These innovative
approaches are highlighted with case studies from California, USA;
India; Taiwan; and East Africa. This collection of essays provides
readers with comprehensive information on the principles of
sustainable water resources management, as well as recent advances,
directions for future research, and policy development for
sustainable water resources management. As a reference, it will be
of interest to students, scientists, engineers, government
officials, and water resource managers.
