Droughts and their management are a serious challenge to water
resource professionals. While droughts predominate in arid regions,
their frequency and severity in more temperate regions with more
abundant rainfall have been on the rise. Drought Management and
Planning for Water Resources provides an essential collection of
planning and management tools for minimizing the negative impacts
of droughts. Comprehensive and up-to-date, it covers water
conservation and reuse, conjunctive use and use of marginal
resources, desalination, deep groundwater extraction, optimization
modeling, and decision support systems.
With contributions from a prestigious international panel, the
book presents best management practices that maximize efficiency,
reliability, and economy while minimizing the potential for adverse
effects to the environment and human health. Providing appropriate
methodologies, the chapters discuss how conjunctive water use can
increase water availability in the developing world and what types
of conjunctive use schemes are the most promising. The book
examines the feasibility of a drought watch alert system and the
legal and administrative framework required. It also explores the
application of the Optimization Models and the Decision Support
Systems to the study of different water management alternatives
under drought conditions. Drought Management and Planning for Water
Resources delineates how to reduce drought effects through
pro-active vision, good management, and conjunctive use of water
sources.
