Most of the world s mountains are rich in water and, as such,
play a pivotal role in the global water cycle. They provide water
for diverse human uses and ecosystems. Growing water demands as
well as climate change will lead to ever-increasing pressure on
mountain waters. Overcoming water-use conflicts and maintaining the
ecological functioning of mountain waters presents a highly
challenging task and is indispensable for sustainable
development.
This book extensively portrays the highly diverse attributes of
mountain waters and demonstrates their paramount importance for
ecological and societal development. The extensive summaries on the
scientific basics of mountain waters are supplemented with
considerations on the diverse water uses, needs for management
actions, and challenges regarding sustainable water management.
This overview concerns not only the mountain areas themselves but
also downriver reaches and their surrounding lowlands, and,
therefore, the relationship between mountain and lowland water
issues."
