Water resources stored by dams and reservoirs play an essential
role in water resource management, hydropower and flood control.
Where there is an extensive network of dam infrastructures, dams
have made a major contribution to economic and social development,
providing considerable storage capacity per capita. However, dams
and reservoirs may also have an important social and environmental
impact, and should be studied within the framework of integrated
water resource management and sustainable development. Dams and
Reservoirs, Societies and Environment in the 21st Century presents
the latest research on the role played by dams and reservoirs in
21st century societies, in developed, emergent and developing
countries. It analyses the viability of dams and suggests
alternative solutions from a holistic perspective, considering the
technical, economic, social and environmental aspects. Other issues
covered include the social acceptability of dams, public
involvement and dam awareness. The book covers subjects ranging
from dam engineering, through the benefits and drawbacks of dams,
to their social and environmental impact, and contains numerous
case studies of the constructive contributions that reservoirs have
made to water development and management. The book is a valuable
resource for professional and dam engineers, water managers,
governmental organizations and commercial enterprises responsible
for dam development and management.
