In this concise introduction to water resources, Shimon Anisfeld
explores the fundamental interactions between humans and water,
including drinking, sanitation, irrigation, and power production.
The book familiarizes students with the current water crisis and
with approaches for managing this essential resource more
effectively in a time of rapid environmental and social change.
Anisfeld addresses both human and ecological problems, including
scarcity, pollution, disease, flooding, conflicts over water, and
degradation of aquatic ecosystems. In addition to providing the
background necessary to understand each of these problems, the book
discusses ways to move towards better management and addresses the
key current debates in the water policy field. In the past, water
development has often proceeded in a single-sector fashion, with
each group of users implementing its own plans without coordination
with other groups, resulting in both conflict and inefficiency.
Now, Anisfeld writes, the challenge of water management is figuring
out how to balance all the different demands for water, from
sanitation to energy generation to ecosystem protection. For
inquiring students of any level, "Water Resources" provides a
comprehensive one-volume guide to a complex but vital field of
study.
