WATER, CLIMATE CHANGE, AND SUSTAINABILITY An in-depth review of
sustainable concepts in water resources management under climate
change Climate change continues to intensify existing pressures in
water resources management, such as rapid population growth, land
use changes, pollution, damming of rivers, and many others.
Securing a reliable water supply--critical for achieving
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)--requires understanding of the
relation between finite water resources, climate
variability/change, and various elements of sustainability. Water,
Climate Change, and Sustainability is a timely and in-depth
examination of the concept of sustainability as it relates to water
resources management in the context of climate change risks.
Featuring contributions by global authors, this edited volume is
organized into three sections: Sustainability Concepts;
Sustainability Approaches, Tools, and Techniques; and
Sustainability in Practice. Detailed chapters describe the linkage
between water and sustainable development, highlight the
development and use of new measuring and reporting methods, and
discuss the implementation of sustainability concepts in various
water use sectors. Topics include localizing and mainstreaming
global water sustainability initiatives, resilient water
infrastructure for poverty reduction, urban water security for
sustainable cities, climate actions and challenges for sustainable
ecosystem services, and more. This important resource: Reviews
contemporary scientific research and practical applications in the
areas of water, climate change and sustainability in different
regions of the world Discusses future directions of research and
practices in relation to expected patterns of climate changes
Covers a wide range of concepts, theories, and perspectives of
sustainable development of water resources Features case studies of
field and modelling techniques for analyzing water resources and
evaluating vulnerability, security, and associated risks Discusses
practical applications of water resources in contexts such as food
security, global health, clean energy, and climate action Water,
Climate Change, and Sustainability is an invaluable resource for
policy makers water managers, researchers, and other professionals
in the field, and an ideal text for graduate students in
hydrogeology, climate change, geophysics, geochemistry, geography,
water resources, and environmental science.
