Water for Life - Drinking Water, Health, Food, Energy Nexus (Hardcover): A.W. Jayawardena Water for Life - Drinking Water, Health, Food, Energy Nexus (Hardcover)
A.W. Jayawardena
R3,598 Discovery Miles 35 980 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Water is a precious resource essential for all forms of life, and although there is plenty of water to meet the demand for the present population - and even for a projected population of 9 billion - there is significant spatial and temporal variation in its distribution. This results in water rich and water poor countries, water-related conflicts, and unsafe drinking water, a major killer identified by the World Health Organization (WHO). Water for Life: Drinking Water, Health, Food, Energy Nexus covers these issues, highlighting the multi-facted uses and importance of water in life: water resources, chemistry of water, drinking water, and the links between water and health, food, irrigation, soil, energy, transport, industry, recreation, disasters, and conflicts. The book is accessible and clear, with technical elements. It is ideal as a background supplementary text to support more specialist study across civil engineering, geography, and social sciences, and will guide readers to see the big picture of environmentally sustainable water management for all human and other biotic lives.

Environmental and Hydrological Systems Modelling (Paperback, New): A.W. Jayawardena Environmental and Hydrological Systems Modelling (Paperback, New)

Mathematical modelling has become an indispensable tool for engineers, scientists, planners, decision makers and many other professionals to make predictions of future scenarios as well as real impending events. As the modelling approach and the model to be used are problem specific, no single model or approach can be used to solve all problems, and there are constraints in each situation. Modellers therefore need to have a choice when confronted with constraints such as lack of sufficient data, resources, expertise and time.

Environmental and Hydrological Systems Modelling provides the tools needed by presenting different approaches to modelling the water environment over a range of spatial and temporal scales. Their applications are shown with a series of case studies, taken mainly from the Asia-Pacific Region. Coverage includes:

  • Population dynamics
  • Reaction kinetics
  • Water quality systems
  • Longitudinal dispersion
  • Time series analysis and forecasting
  • Artificial neural networks
  • Fractals and chaos
  • Dynamical systems
  • Support vector machines
  • Fuzzy logic systems
  • Genetic algorithms and genetic programming

This book will be of great value to advanced students, professionals, academics and researchers working in the water environment.
