Forming the 10th volume from this successful international
conference series, this book features research from scientists,
practitioners and other experts working across the field of water
resources management. Water is essential for sustaining life on our
planet and its uneven distribution is a source of permanent
conflict. The growth of human population combined with the
irregularity in precipitation and water availability may restrict
even further the access to water in certain regions of the world.
This problem is made more severe by anthropogenic activities that
affect its quality. Moreover, changes in the landscape, use of the
land and climate conditions lead to a continuous revaluation of
river basin management objectives. This requires the development of
better measuring tools as well as the use of increasingly accurate
computer software. This volume provides an insight into the state
of the art in the current technology, techniques and solutions in
sustainable water resources management as they have been developed
and applied in different countries. Themes related to water
resources include: Water management and planning; Water rights and
accessibility; Water markets economics and policies; Climate
change; Irrigation; Water resources in arid regions; Ground water;
Hydraulic engineering; Trans-boundary water management; Water, food
and energy; Water and the community; Integrated water analysis;
Wetlands as water sources.
