The world's water resources are being tapped at an ever increasing
rate, to the extent that sustainability and water quality are being
compromised. This book provides accounts of the technology used for
managing water resources to reduce risks. Besides controlling
floods, overcoming droughts and reducing pollution, the reader will
learn to plan and maintain hydraulic structures, and to appreciate
the diverse demands on water, including those of the environment.
The topics considered include hydrology and assessment of water
resources; drought management and flood management tools; and the
interaction between land use and water resources, including surface
runoff, groundwater and water quality. The second half of the book
focuses on water use, demand management and the infrastructure
required to manage water. Consideration is also given to the tools
needed for planning, including economics and computer modelling.
This book is aimed at a postgraduate level, suitable for students
in water engineering and science. It will also serve as a reference
for practitioners concerned with water resources and water supply.
