Water scarcity affects hydrologic resources, systems connectivity,
biodiversity, water quality, and river ecosystem functioning. It
has direct impacts on economic sectors that use and depend on
water, such as agriculture, tourism, industry, energy and
transport. The Mediterranean Basin is one of the regions in the
world most vulnerable to climate changes, as well as one of the
most impacted by human water demand. This volume provides an
in-depth view of the water quality and quantity implications of
water scarcity. It highlights its possible causes and describes the
effects in regions under Mediterranean climate. The topics covered
include climate effects, water resources (use, storage and new
sources), water quality (chemical and microbiological), and the
effects on ecosystems suffering from water scarcity. This book is
addressed to scientists and students, but also to managers involved
in the necessary decision making process to face future periods of
drought.
