Water resources professionals have an obligation to conceive and
manage water resource systems such that they will fully contribute
to an improved quality of life for all humans, now and into the
future. Those water resource systems that will be able to satisfy
the changing demands that will inevitably be placed on them,
without significant system degradation, can be called
'sustainable'. An international group of experts have reviewed
various guidelines for achieving greater degrees of sustainability
and the extent to which they have been applied in a number of case
studies. Approaches for measuring and modelling sustainability are
provided. Ways in which these measures and models might be used
when evaluating alternative designs and operating policies are
illustrated. The monograph will be particularly valuable for
practising engineers and planners, and as a supplementary text for
graduate students in civil and environmental engineering,
hydrology, geography and economics.
