FUNDAMENTALS OF WATER SECURITY Understand How to Manage Water
Resources to Equitably Meet Both Human and Ecological Needs
Burgeoning populations and the ever-higher standards of living for
those in emerging countries increase the demand on our water
resources. What is not increasing, however, is the supply of water
and the total amount of water in earth's biosphere--water that is
integral to all standards of living. Fundamentals of Water Security
provides a foundation for understanding and managing the
quantity-quality-equity nexus of water security in a changing
climate. In a broad sense, this volume explores solutions to water
security challenges around the world. It is richly illustrated and
pedagogically packed with up-to-date information. The text contains
chapter learning objectives, foundation sections reviewing
quantitative skills, case studies, and vignettes of people who have
made important contributions to water security. To further aid
comprehension, end-of-chapter problems are included--both
qualitative and quantitative, with solutions available to
instructors. Finally, extensive references feature books, journal
articles, and government and NGO reports. Sample topics discussed
include: How the study of water resources has evolved from a focus
on physical availability to include social factors and governance
How water security affects multiple disciplines across
environmental science and engineering, hydrology, geography, water
resources, atmospheric science, chemistry, biology, health science,
and social and political science fields How to achieve a sufficient
quantity and quality of water to equitably meet both immediate and
long-term human and ecological needs Analysis of water security in
an integrated manner by underscoring the complex interactions
between water quantity, water quality, and society Students taking
courses on hydrology, water security, and/or water resource
management, along with scientists working in fields where water
security is a factor will be able to use Fundamentals of Water
Security as a comprehensive textbook to understand and achieve
water security.
