Coastal Reservoir Technology and Applications presents the analyses
showing that the world is not running out of water, but water is
running out of river mouths-we need to work to harness this
resource. Compared with inland water storages and desalination
technology, coastal reservoirs are a nature-based water solution
without disturbing the environment. This book mainly answers the
questions of what the coastal reservoir technology is, where we
should construct coastal reservoirs, and how to supply sufficient,
high-quality and affordable water to the world with minimum
environmental/social impacts. Chapter 1 reviews modes of water
resources development in the history along with current problems
and reasons. Chapter 2 discusses the definition of coastal
reservoirs, its classifications and applications, and the
SPP/downstream water management strategy. Other chapters analyse
water crisis in every continent, as well as their water solutions.
The possible coastal reservoir for each major river is suggested as
well. Without freshwater, no one can survive. Likewise, without
sufficient, high-quality and affordable freshwater, no community
can achieve sustainable development. However, water is also a
killer when it is too much (floods), too dirty (pollution), and too
turbid. Different from other books, this resource shows how to
solve these water problems. Coastal reservoirs and SPP strategy are
suggested to develop floodwater in a safe way in coastal and inland
regions, respectively. Solution of water-food-energy-ecosystem
nexus needs a paradigm shift from upstream to downstream water
management, i.e., from mountainous dams to coastal reservoirs,
which conserves the precious, clean freshwater in seawater
environment.
